Thank you for that. The new client is still in a primitive state and there are a few rough edges - one example is that it exits when there is a connection problem which is not the behavior we really want. There is also the issue of what to do if the engine itself dies. I'm not sure what happens in this case, but I need to do a bit more development in this area to get it right. I want the reconnection time-out to be gradually increasing, in case of long network outages - no point hammering the server if things will be down a signficant length of time. Things like that need to be improved and feedback is welcome. And I have received good feedback already - so thanks everyone. - Don > Hellwig > > _______________________________________________ > computer-go mailing list > computer-go@computer-go.org > http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/ _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
