selected or unselected, which is the GtkRadioMenuItem class. Replace
my ad-hoc use of bullet characters with that.

on labels in tables. The effect is that if you resize (e.g.) Solo's
configuration panel, the labels to the left of the various input
boxes will remain just big enough to fit their text in, and all the
extra space will be taken up by the useful part, i.e. the input
boxes themselves. Previously the labels and input boxes would expand
in a 1:1 ratio, causing lots of space to the right of the label text
that wasn't used for anything.

_conditionally_ able to format the current puzzle as text to be sent
to the clipboard. For instance, if a game were to support playing on
a square grid and on other kinds of grid such as hexagonal, then it
might reasonably feel that only the former could be sensibly
rendered in ASCII art; so it can now arrange for the "Copy" menu
item to be greyed out depending on the game_params.
To do this I've introduced a new backend function
(can_format_as_text_now()), and renamed the existing static backend
field "can_format_as_text" to "can_format_as_text_ever". The latter
will cause compile errors for anyone maintaining a third-party front
end; if any such person is reading this, I apologise to them for the
inconvenience, but I did do it deliberately so that they'd know to
update their front end.
As yet, no checked-in game actually uses this feature; all current
games can still either copy always or copy never.

currently selected preset, if any. I've used this in the GTK front
end to have the Type menu mark the currently selected menu item.
(After considerable beating of GTK with sticks, I might add. Grr.)
Currently the same UI feature is not yet supported on Windows or
MacOS, but I hope to do those too at some point if it's feasible.

instead of having the puzzle binary export its window ID to a script
which then runs xwd, we can use the gdk-pixbuf library to have the
puzzle binary _itself_ read its own internal pixmap and save it
straight to a PNG. How handy. And faster, and less timing-sensitive.

mkfiles.pl change (I don't seem to be planning ahead very well this
week), this time to provide a list of fallback options for an object
file. That way, I have a no-icon.c which quietly replaces
icons/foo-icon.c if the latter doesn't exist, and so again people
checking straight out from Subversion shouldn't have trouble.

the web, which I hope will also end up being extended to generate
both Windows and X icons for each individual puzzle. The mechanism
is: for each puzzle there's a save file in the `icons' subdirectory
showing a game state which I think is a decent illustration of the
puzzle, and then there's a nasty set of scripts which runs each
puzzle binary, loads that save file, grabs a screenshot using xwd,
and munges it into shape.
In order to support this I've added two new options (--redo and
--windowid) to all the GTK puzzles, which I don't expect ever to be
used outside the icons makefile. I've also added two more options
(--load and --id) which force a GTK puzzle to treat its command-line
option as a save file or as a game ID respectively (the previous
behaviour was always to guess, and sometimes it guessed wrong).

midend_rewrite_statusbar() and check the result against the last
string returned. This is now done centrally in drawing.c, and the
front end status bar function need only do what it says on the tin.
While I'm modifying the prototype of drawing_init(), I've also
renamed it drawing_new() for the same reason as random_new() (it
_allocates_ a drawing object, rather than just initialising one
passed in).

as seen by the back ends from the one implemented by the front end,
and shoved a piece of middleware (drawing.c) in between to permit
interchange of multiple kinds of the latter. I've also added a
number of functions to the drawing API to permit printing as well as
on-screen drawing, and retired print.py in favour of integrated
printing done by means of that API.
The immediate visible change is that print.py is dead, and each
puzzle now does its own printing: where you would previously have
typed `print.py solo 2x3', you now type `solo --print 2x3' and it
should work in much the same way.
Advantages of the new mechanism available right now:
- Map is now printable, because the new print function can make use
of the output from the existing game ID decoder rather than me
having to replicate all those fiddly algorithms in Python.
- the new print functions can cope with non-initial game states,
which means each puzzle supporting --print also supports
--with-solutions.
- there's also a --scale option permitting users to adjust the size
of the printed puzzles.
Advantages which will be available at some point:
- the new API should permit me to implement native printing
mechanisms on Windows and OS X.

because you can usually find a synonym for the latter, such as by

encode_params(). This is necessary for cases where generation-time parameters
that are normally omitted from descriptive IDs can place restrictions on other
parameters; in particular, when the default value of a relevant generation-time
parameter is not the one used to generate the descriptive ID, validation could
reject self-generated IDs (e.g., Net `5x2w:56182ae7c2', and some cases in
`Pegs').

constraint: because some front ends interpret `draw filled shape' to
mean `including its boundary' while others interpret it to mean `not
including its boundary' (and X seems to vacillate between the two
opinions as it moves around the shape!), you MUST NOT draw a filled
shape only. You can fill in one colour and outline in another, you
can fill or outline in the same colour, or you can just outline, but
just filling is a no-no.
This leads to a _lot_ of double calls to these functions, so I've
changed the interface. draw_circle() and draw_polygon() now each
take two colour arguments, a fill colour (which can be -1 for none)
and an outline colour (which must be valid). This should simplify
code in the game back ends, while also reducing the possibility for
coding error.

midend.c. Also I've added an experimental front end in gtk.c only:
`Save' and `Load' options on the Game menu, which don't even show up
unless you define the magic environment variable
PUZZLES_EXPERIMENTAL_SAVE. Once I'm reasonably confident that the
whole edifice is plausibly stable, I'll take that out and turn it
into a supported feature (and also implement it in OS X and Windows
and write documentation).

retired, and replaced with a simple string. Most of the games which
use it simply encode the string in the same way that the Solve move
will also be encoded, i.e. solve_game() simply returns
dupstr(aux_info). Again, this is a better approach than writing
separate game_aux_info serialise/deserialise functions because doing
it this way is self-testing (the strings are created and parsed
during the course of any Solve operation at all).

gdk_font_from_description() will no longer even _try_ to return a
font matching the specified Pango font description; instead it will

to using Pango proper for Puzzles text rendering, rather than just
using Pango for font selection.

in terms of a constant TILE_SIZE (or equivalent). Here's a
surprisingly small patch which switches this constant into a
run-time variable.
The only observable behaviour change should be on Windows, which
physically does not permit the creation of windows larger than the
screen; if you try to create a puzzle (Net makes this plausible)
large enough to encounter this restriction, the Windows front end
should automatically re-adjust the puzzle's tile size so that it
does fit within the available space.
On GTK, I haven't done this, on the grounds that X _does_ permit
windows larger than the screen, and many X window managers already
provide the means to navigate around such a window. Gareth said he'd
rather navigate around a huge Net window than have it shrunk to fit
on one screen. I'm uncertain that this makes sense for all puzzles -
Pattern in particular strikes me as something that might be better
off shrunk to fit - so I may have to change policy later or make it
configurable.
On OS X, I also haven't done automatic shrinkage to fit on one
screen, largely because I didn't have the courage to address the
question of multiple monitors and what that means for the entire
concept :-)

usefully be equivalent to right-clicking on platforms other than OS
X; in particular, it's useful if you're running Linux on Apple
hardware such as PowerBook which inherently has only one button. So
here's the fix for GTK, and Windows as well (the latter for
completeness and consistency, not because I can actually think of
any reason somebody might be running Windows on one-button
hardware).
