See the "release notes" section for details.
The above software is NOT Scid. "Scid" is a trademark of
Shane Hudson, and stands for Shane's Chess Information
Database. Shane Hudson never gave Pascal permission to
use the name SCid for his forked project. He stole it,
taking advantage of Shane's illness. This is why the
sourceforge admims wouldn't allow him to take over the
Scid project.
Scid for Pocket PC has also been updated
http://[deleted].fr/scid/PPC.html (with minor fixes and engines
updates).
There is no such thing as Scid for Pocket PC. The above is
a fork derived from Scid and from ChessDB. Pascal stole the
name "Scid" without permission, and lifted code from ChessDB
(including typos) while claiming not to do so.
The REAL Scid is found he [
http://scid.sourceforge.net/ ]
There are at least two forks of Scid, and one program heavily
infuenced by Scid, but Pascal's is the only one that pretends
to be the real Scid -- which is why he cannot host it on
SourceForge.
The Real Scid:
http://scid.sourceforge.net/
Non-stolen chess database programs:
http://chessdb.sourceforge.net/
http://chessx.sourceforge.net/
The real Scid already exists and is already in various name-based
databases, package management systems, the sourceforge page, etc.
Nobody is going to delete the real Scid to make room for this
impostor. Pascal's decision to steal the Scid name kept him from
hosting his project on sourceforge, kept it out of the freebsd
ports system, and many other places. Pascal is shooting himself
in the foot by stealing the Scid name.
