release notes: Bugfixes, new commands, more configurability. (Note how we sidestep DPI detection w/ the latter. :-D)

README excerpt:
SGF Utils is a set of programs for manipulating Smart Game
Format files, principally for the game of Go. This release
includes one tool: the viewing program sgfv. The code is
"early to middling alpha"; see HACKING for why.
NEWS excerpt:
- 0.5 | 2012-11-14
- bugfixes in display
- variation labels (white pinstripe) survive ‘C-l’
This was due to unclean phase separation (yeah, it happens
everywhere).
- lineage displayed indepedently of move details
Previously, lineage was only displayed for move nodes. E.g.,
for "make check INTERACTIVE=1 SGF=sgf/eg", the series of
non-move nodes playing w/ the partial view feature used to not
show lineage.
- overlapping labels no longer flicker
We used to call ‘SDL:update-rect’ more than necessary.
- bugfix: ‘f’ overlay growth no longer unbounded
Previously, if you were insane (and patient) enough to type ‘f’
very many times, you could run out of memory. Now, you will run
out of patience first.
- sibling variations indicated on board, listed in space
You can use ‘a’ to cycle the board indicator. In space, each
variant is numbered, with ‘!’ (exclamation point) to highlight
the one currently showing on the board.
- new command-line option: --config FILENAME
If specified, sgfv reads FILENAME (use "-" for stdin), expected
to be in alternating keys and values format, and configures
various things. Keys are Scheme symbols. Values are Scheme
literal expressions: symbols, strings or numbers. Comments
(semicolon to eol) and whitespace are ignored.
Here are the recognized keys:
- ‘geometry’
The value is a string of the form WxH, such as "1024x768".
- ‘showing’
The value is a symbol, one of: ‘everything’, ‘stones/comment’,
‘stones’.
- ‘btw-indicator’
The value is a symbol, one of: ‘select’, ‘mark’, ‘circle’,
‘square’, ‘triangle’, ‘none’.
- ‘ghost-indicator’
Like ‘btw-indicator’.
- ‘font’
The value is a string, the absolute filename of a TTF file.
Default is "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSansBold.ttf".
- ‘dpi’
The value is real number. Default is 96.0.
- default config file: $HOME/.sgf-utils/sgfv
If ‘--config FILENAME’ is not given, sgfv looks for file
‘$HOME/.sgf-utils/sgfv’ and uses that if found.
- "make check" honors ‘VCONFIG’ instead of ‘GEOMETRY’
Env var ‘GEOMETRY’ is no longer recognized. To specify geometry
and other configuration, create a configuration file, e.g.:
$ cat > zow <<EOF
geometry "1024x768"
btw-indicator triangle ; for poi{nted,gnant} commentary :-D
EOF
and invoke like so:
make check VCONFIG=zow
- SGF data file ‘funky’ in partial view
This makes it easier to see / play with the new features (and
bugs). Note that ‘funky’ is not well-formed; in particular, you
will find some back-to-back same-color moves.
- new command: . (period)
This jumps to the "current" end, that is, the end reached by
following the first variation in any forks encountered going
forward. As a special case, if the current node is a fork, you
can use a prefix-arg to select the initial variation.
- new command: , (comma)
This jumps to the root node.
