Hi all,
I have made a new release of Freecell Solver - 3.24.0 which is dedicated to the
memory of Adrian Ettlinger:

Reading from the NEWS.txt:
Version 3.24.0: (23-Feb-2014)
-----------------------------
1. This release is dedicated to the memory of Adrian Ettlinger (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Ettlinger ) who passed away on
23 October 2013, who was a good Internet friend of the primary maintainer of
Freecell Solver (= Shlomi Fish), and who contributed a great deal to Freecell
Solver and to Freecell research and programming in general (among other
life achievements, and contributions). You can find an obituary of
Mr. Ettlinger by Shlomi Fish here:
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/fc-solve-discuss/conversations/messages/1379
and the +video-editing+ preset (see below) was named in honor of his previous
work in pioneering non-linear video editing.
2. Handle board/layout inputs without a trailing newline character on the last
line properly (thanks to someone who reported it via E-mail with respect to
the JavaScript-based solver).
3. Add the +-l video-editing+ or +-l ve+ flare-based preset for shorter
solutions (on average).
4. The distribution now contains the sources for the so-called
split-fcc-solver, which was originally conceived as an attempt to
determine whether the Windows Freecell deal No. 384,243 is solvable with
two freecells or not. The attempt failed because the split-FCC-solver
generated large intermediate outputs, but it may prove of some utility
in the future (while being experimental).
---------------------------
I'm planning to try to prepare a new version of the Windows 32-bit binaries
soon (And also get the new Freecell Solver version packaged in Mageia, in
Debian and in other distributions), but need to juggle some other open source
(and non-open-source) work. I also would like to invest some time working on
the late Adrian's entry on the English wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Ettlinger , and to translate a non-fiction
story I wrote about my Internet relationship with him back when he was still
alive from Hebrew to English.
Regards,
Shlomi Fish
