Stonebase 4.0 released
Thursday, November 1. 2007
30th October 2007, this was the day when Stonebase 4.0 was released. Most of the interested people have already seen the beta version on a video made by a German Go player, where it showed some good features which were to come.
This is the list of the improvements in this version:
- New: Board Skin, can help you customize board style for display and share.
- New: Game Print, now can print single game or games from database.
- New: Unlimited Undo/Redo for game edit.
- New: Support the QQ game file(*.WGS).
- Improved: Add "Customize" option to show move number function.
- Improved: Removed "openning pattern" functions, because this uncomplete, immature?
- Bug Fixed: Some confusion in used guess move.
- Bug Fixed: Conflict with guess move and next move hint.
- Bug Fixed: Problems in transform 'BIG5' encoding text?
- Other improvements and adjustments.
It feels a little bit strange to realise that they've deleted the "openning pattern" function, though it seems reasonable if you had ever tried it.
What strikes me the most are the board and stone skins. Simply amazing. I totally agree with VincentV: "... eventually Stonebase will rule the Go-world". So currently, we only have to find a solution while waiting for that "eventually".
