Sólo una pregunta, ¿El nuevo YaY ha sido probado en Linux?

[matematiko]

YaY 3 Ultimate y las versiones anteriores son solo para windows.

Aunque con ligeras modificaciones podrian funcionar en Linux, no es nuestra intencion hacerlo.

Buena suerte,

[XsupremeX]

5- Shout if the user is using polyglot or fritz like Using yay+polyglot or yay+fritz
Already included for the first time in this version. Good suggestion too.
Cheers,

So the only possible messages are something like this:

Using YaY 3.1.1 with Winboard 4.2.7 + Crafty 19.1
Using YaY 3.1.1 with Winboard 4.2.7 + Polyglot
Using YaY 3.1.1 with Winboard 4.2.7 + winboard232d.exe <---This will be the only possible indication that you are using a Chessbase Program.

Cheers,

Hey mate, look at this y4h000000

This is one of those situations that I am glad I was wrong, if you tell me how you did it I'll be more than glad to implement it in YaY, but I kinda know the answer, since all you have is the exe, therefore you can not edit it. So I assume the correct display of Fritz is a new feature of that particular version of Winboard you are using, am I right?

Ive just managed to re-create that here...sort of.... by re-naming the Winboard232d.exe as Fritz.exe and then changing the targetline in the shortcut.. although this may not be the way he has done it.

[XsupremeX]

Got me dene. Right..I renamed it to Fritz 11 (with space) then yay will not shout Fritz.exe but only Fritz...And also change my target ...

Now Im just having funny with this:
C:\Polygot\winboard.exe /zp /ics /icshost 127.0.0.1 /icsport 6000 /fcp="X-GUI 2008.exe -pipe"

Yay shouts ... + X-GUI (not 2008 and not .exe)
it doesnt shout anything beyond the space, it stops in GUI

Great Job

Interesting but missleading.

YaY Ultimate 3 has been modify to truncate Winboard version numbers and to change winboard232d.exe to Chessbase.

So, the new shout will be something like this:

Using YaY........ with WinBoard + Polyglot
or
Using YaY........ with WinBoard + Chessbase

I can not ask you to stop missleading people but I will apreciated if you do.

And again, very smart and funny approach you took.

OK Boys, look for the release of YaY Ultimate 3 on Dec 25th around 1:00 A.M. Texas time.

The link is exactly the same as before:
http://h1.ripway.com/matematiko/YaY_Ultimate.zip

Dont try to download it now cause you gonna get the same 2.1.2 old version.

I am making the announcement now cause I don't know how much free time I gonna have tomorrow (x-mas eve) not to mention that I will probably be drunk as hell

We ended it up adding more stuff than what we originally planned and the time went fast, although a great effort has been made, this does not mean that this version will be bug free. With your help and feedback we'll make it better. Don't get me wrong, as I am writting this letter I am not aware of any bug and the ones we found had been corrected, but there is always a chance, or who knows maybe there is no bugs.

We'd like to take the oportunity to thank xsupremex and zozur for their extensive and high quality beta testing.

merry x-mass to all,

**** YaY Ultimate Team ****

P.S. Please, no PM asking for an eralier release, we still continue wrapping up the latest details and final touches.

[matematiko]

Well,

For those thinking on tinkering with the perl file and change things I have some requests:

- Please respect the version number, do not change the version number because this will misslead other users and make them think there is a new official release. I saw this happened with YtoICS few years ago and it was a big mess and lots of confusion.

- If despite my request you still want to change the version string, then you should not use "YaY Ultimate Edition", not because I said so but because is copyrighted under the GNU license terms. Please read the GNU license included with the distribution and be aware of your responsabilities when using free software.

Cheers,

Edit: The alternate download links point to a YaY version that is no longer working because of Yahoo changes made today: 01/27/09 so I removed these links. See last replay or look around the forum for new links to a fixed revision.

I tried downloading the megaupload link because the other downlad links didn't start to download. I was hoping to get the perl source code but it just had the exe file. I am using linux, that's why i need the source code. Could you point out which of the download links has the perl source code?

Thanks in advance.

exe file is a executable, you need install YaY to get source code ( on C:\YaY_Ultimate_3 folder )
search for source folder
