Currently supported servers are the Internet Chess Club and the
Free Internet Chess Server.
EasyAI is a pure-Python artificial intelligence framework for
two-players abstract games such as Tic Tac Toe, Connect 4, Reversi,
etc. It makes it easy to define the mechanisms of a game, and play
against the computer or solve the game. Under the hood, the AI is
a Negamax algorithm with alpha-beta pruning and transposition
tables.

added to the NEWS file).
- Added generic OpenGL (ES) output (based on GSoC Task).
- The GUI can now be rendered in 32-bits.

engines.

allows for arbitrary output sizes. However, it does not support special
filters like AdvMAME, HQ, etc.
AGOS:
- Added mouse wheel support for inventory and save game lists.
- Enabled verb name display in Simon the Sorcerer 2.
- Fixed the Feeble Files loyalty rating in the English 4CD version. (This

version of King's Quest 6. Portraits should now be much more expressive
when talking.

of Laura Bow 2 and King's Quest 6 (toggled either in-game with the new
"Dual" audio state, or via the ScummVM audio options).
- Fixed music fading.
- Fixed several script bugs in Camelot, Crazy Nick's, Hoyle 3, QFG1VGA, KQ5,
KQ6, LB2, LSL2, LSL5, Pharkas, PQ1VGA, SQ4, SQ5.
- Improved the MIDI parser so that music event processing is done more
properly.
SCUMM:
- Changed the saved game naming scheme of HE games to always contain
the target name.

This makes sound effects like, for example, the typewriter and waterfall
in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade sound like in the original.
- Added support for the Steam versions of Indiana Jones and the Last
Crusade, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Loom and The Dig. Both
the Windows and the Macintosh versions are supported.
