After recent discussion we decided to start from scratch. We will rewrite the project from scratch, using C++ and Qt. Thanks to recent announcement from Trolltech, that they will release free version Qt for Windows for Open Source, this will allow us to have Windows version as well.
We will try to implement all the Scid features and also add a lot of new things.
Also, we welcome new developer aboard. This is Kamil Przybyla, author of Enigma chess engine (http://republika.pl/kamilprz/).
The alpha version was ported to Windows, using the MinGW gcc for C++ compilation. All source (Java and C++) is identical to the Linux alpha version.
test2005_04_14.jar contains the Java source, which was missing from the tar archive with the alpha test version for Linux.
