Update 0.2.8 - Favorites Remembered, Bug Fixes
Changes:
- Game Settings Remembered for Future Games

Update 0.2.7 - Dead Stone Removal Phase in AI Games
Changes:
- Advanced Options Menu
- Check Box to Enable Dead Stone Removal Phase for AI Games
- Check Box for 'Hint' Stones
- Dropdown for Default Scoring Rules
- Score Shows Correctly for OGS Games (Only Fully Enclosed Territory Counted)
- Restrict by Rank Difference for OGS Games
- Fixed Steam Invite Bug
- Improved OGS Challenge Logic
There are lots of other background changes in this update, combined they allowed for the most requested feature to be included, the dead stone phase in AI games. At the moment all dead stones must be manually marked, and territory attached to those stones must be manually set. I should be able to get some basic auto-marking in soon.
By default (for the moment) AI games are still auto-scored and require all stones to be removed, but in the options menu there is an 'advanced' button where you will find the default rules, and well as a check box for manual scoring and turning off the 'hint' stones.
I am very interested in all feedback about what you would like to see happen, how you would like it to work, as right now it is a pretty basic implementation.
Update 0.2.6 - OGS Updates, Single Player Undo
Also there is a bunch of the code related to OGS which I was working on going live that should fix a bunch of edge cases problems. Lucky it doesn't seem like people have had any issues as nobody has mentioned them but they were little time-bombs.
The most noticeable change will be that games vs the computer AI now have an undo option. This will revert the game to let you take your last move over.
Update 0.2.5 - OGS V5
The only noticeable change is that the authentication process. OGS removed the application specific authentication code so from now on logging in will use your regular OGS username and password.
Ancient Go does not store your password, but you wont have to log in every time as OGS is able to use the authorization for a good period.
It might be a good idea to play unranked, shorter games for a while just in case there are any issues I missed. In my testing everything is functional but there might still be edge cases etc.
Update 0.2.4 - Japanese Rules on OGS
Changes:
- Hopefully the issue where closing a web browser logged into OGS resigns a game even if the same game is still open in Ancient Go is solved.
- AGA, Chinese, Japanese rules available for online games
- Ranked option available for online games
- Player strength shown in online games when menu is open
- Online game list time display is improved
- Options and OGS authorization should persist between updates (may not for this update)
Note that the scoring still shows incorrectly in most places. That is what I am working on next. I just wanted to get in some simpler things before the holiday.
