<h3><a name="changes">Recent Changes</a></h3>
<pre class="codesample">
Changes in Deal 3.1.9
* Fix issue #14 - smartstack was broken on OS X
* Fix issue #15 - holding procedures implementation incomplete
* Added documentation of pattern functions to advanced.html
* Minor documentation fix
Changes in Deal 3.1.8
* Added patternfunc, patternclass, and patterncond, which are similar in
function to the shapefunc, shapeclass, and shapecond routines. [In
Deal, a shape is the ordered list of suit lengths: s-h-d-c. A pattern
is sorted by lengths (decreasing.) So the 3-4-5-1 shape has the pattern
5431.
* Added documentation to commands-body.html for the new pattern procedures
* Added google analytics code to the documentation (for my web site
only - local documentation does not have the google analytics)
* [Internals] Changed occurances of "hand" in variable names to "seat"
when it refers to a location at the table (North, East, South, West.)
Changes in Deal 3.1.7
* Added code to pass argument values (argc, argv, argv0) when using the
'-x' flag
* Added code to allow for easier build against Tcl 8.3.
* Updated binky points with newly computed values. The new version
does not have binky::defense.suit or binky::defense.nt.
Added documentation for Binky Points evaluators.
* Fixed 64-bit builds using a fix found in Christoph Berg's Ubuntu
package for Deal.
* Added another fix by Christoph Berg which improves random number
seeding
* Added Make.ubuntu and Make.mac-osx to source release build
* Clarified some build and install notes
* Fixed docs to use './deal' rather than 'deal'
Changes in Deal 3.1.6
* Added newLTC function
* Merged in changes with DDS 1.1.9 (about 5% performance increase in
double dummy solving in tests of average deals)
* Moderate changes in documentation
* Moved the source code to a Google Code project, at http://andrews-deal.googlecode.com/
Changes in Deal 3.1.5
* Changed "stringbox" procedures to allow Unicode characters
* Small changes to DDS to clarify code and very slightly improve performance (fixing a
'bug' that I had created which required holding_t type to be unsigned int rather
that unsigned short
* Allow fully played tricks to be passed with the -trick option to 'dds' command
* Documentation for 'dds' -trick option
* Reorganization of commands documentation file to create a non-framed version
Changes in Deal 3.1.4
* Added -trick flag to dds
* Allowed for inclusion of Tcl release libraries
* Moved most of deal.tcl to lib/features.tcl
Changes in Deal 3.1.3
* Fixed performance issue in DDS that I introduced in Deal 3.1.0.
* Added -x command line flag
Changes in Deal 3.1.2
* Added dds command for more control over the double dummy solver
* Added 'universal' target to Makefile for building Mac universal binaries
* Added tests for double-dummy solver, including Great 88 file
* Performance tweaks to the double-dummy solver
* Fixed a typo bug in deal.tcl
* Added full_deal command
* Added unicode output option for default format (to put out suit symbols)
* Changed to allow "-" as void in inputs
* Fixed seeding with seed_deal command
* Updated documentation and built a documentation-management system
Changes in Deal 3.1.1
* Implemented deal::tricks for caching of double dummy data
and uniform interface to double dummy tricks data
* Changed call to Haglund's solver to re-use data when processing
contracts in the same denomination and different declarers.
Changes in Deal 3.1
* Added Bo Haglund's Double Dummy Solver
Changes in Deal 3.0.8
[ No binary changes ]
* Fixed "line" input format
* Updates documentation
Changes in Deal 3.0.7
[ No binary changes - all changes in the Tcl files. ]
* Changed "score" to be a table lookup.
* Fixed a bug in "parscore" which wrong-sided the
contract sometimes.
* Fixed documentation file "commands.html".
Changes in Deal 3.0.6
[ No binary changes this release - all changes in the Tcl files. ]
* Made changes to gib.tcl to work with the latest version of GIB.
* Fixed a few bugs with various formatting procedures.
Changes in Deal 3.0.5
* Fixed a bug - Deal 3.0.4 failed to recognize "-" as void
in -S, -E, -N, -W options, as well as in "north is " commands.
-----
Changes in Deal 3.0.4
* Update doc examples to match ex/ subdirectory.
* Deleted util.c and util.h from distribution.
-----
Changes in Deal 3.0.3
* Added GNU General Public License copyright to most files, and full
GPL text to release.
* Altered deal.c to improve performance of reset_deal() routine.
Improved overall performance of 10%.
* Re-implemented in Tcl the broken undocumented old procedures,
intersectclass, negateclass, and joinclass. This lets you create
new shape classes from old shape classes using standard boolean
functions. Old code removed from dist.c, new code added to deal.tcl .
* Deleted some unused code in deal.tcl which was left from early
efforts at the smart stacking routines.
* Updated the documentation
-----
Changes in Deal 3.0.2
* Fixed a bug in the smartstack methods.
* Altered zip builds to put files in deal302 directory (rather than
deal3.0.2)
* Polished the HTML docs (in docs/html directory.)
* Many, many improved error messages when commands are misused
* Cleaned up some code
* Made dist.c use more Tcl_Obj pointers rather than strings - makes for
faster compiles of shape classes. (I can't believe I left those
sprintf calls for so long. :-)
* Fixed some of the examples which called deal::stack_hand, a non-existant
procedure.
-----
Changes in Deal 3.0.1
The changes for Deal 3.0.1 (from Deal 3.0 beta 11) were made essentially
for two reasons:
(1) To finish the Deal 3.0 release - e.g., added documentation.
(2) To add features needed for the "smartstack" routines.
* Include HTML docs in docs/html directory.
* Most library files in release moved to the lib directory
* Added "smartstack" input class for fast building of hands which fit
specific patterns
* Added "stacked" procedure to find out the current state of the
deck-stacking. Returns the list of cards stacked to the named hand.
* Altered stacking methods. Added procedures "deck_stack_cards,"
"deck_stack_hand", "stack_cards," and "stack_hand." By default,
"stack_hand" and "stack_cards" just call the "deck_" procedures,
but the idea is that "stack_cards" and "stack_hands" can be
overridden. Now when you call "south is AJ4 KJ54 9643 72" it in
turn calls "stack_hand south AJ4 KJ54 9643 72." Similarly,
"south gets ..." calls "stack_cards," although there the transformation
is somewhat different.
* Added "list" subcommand to shape classes. e.g.,
shapeclass hasVoid { expr {$s*$h*$d*$c==0} }
foreach shape [hasVoid list] {
...
}
* Added "shape" subcommand to the shape classes and functions, e.g.,
shapefunc foo { ... }
foo shape {4 2 4 3}
So:
foo north
Is the same as:
foo shape [north shape]
* Added the "holding" utility procedure, with subcommands length,
disjoint, ...
holding length AKxxx => 5
holding disjoint AKJ4 QT94 => 0 [ false ]
New to Deal 3.0:
* Fast holding procedures definable with holdingProc.
* GIB interfaces (gib::directory, gib::tricks, parscore)
* Bridge utility routines - lho, rho, partner, score
* Input format extensibility
* Uses features of faster versions of Tcl (Tcl 8.x)

<h3><a name="building">Building Deal</a></h3>
<h4>Ubuntu Users</h4>
<p>Be careful, there is an Ubuntu package of Deal which is almost always a few revisions behind. If it tells you to try to use <code>apt-get</code> to install deal, that just means that you've run deal outside of the directory where you built it, or you don't have '.' in your PATH environment variable.
<p>Otherwise, checkout the Wiki at <a href="http://code.google.com/p/andrews-deal/wiki/BuildingNotes">the build notes in the Google Code project</a> for notes on how to build Deal on Linux or Mac OS X or other Unix-like platforms.
