2.5 Build 875 Released
This new build is critical for people running
computers with more than 2GB of RAM. In
previous versions of this chess program, the memory
check was provided by older Microsoft API calls
which handled only 32-bit addressing, which in our
dev environment translates to 2GB. Anything
higher shows as negative numbers. We've
updated it with the newer API calls for newer
versions of Windows so it will see the correct
amount of memory. ChessRally 2 was previously
denying people with > 2GB of RAM the ability to
run the software, stating that you didn't have
enough memory. This fix is essential
for people with computers with that much memory, and
temporarily optional for everyone else. On
a fun note, since it now recognizes full 64-bit
memory employment, it means that it will recognize
up to about 18 EB. An EB is an "Exabyte".
18 EB ~ 18 billion Gigabytes.
Unfortunately, that kind of memory capacity won't be
seen by PC users for about 68 years or so, according
to Moore's Law.
On a different note, 2.6 is coming along
nicely. Hope to announce a final ETA soon.

2.5 Build 873 Released
This new build has been available unofficially for
about a month. It was undergoing a short
beta cycle with a limited number of users.
This is not yet version 2.6, which is still in the
works, pending the conclusion of other
responsibilities here at Ingenuware. In any
case, the issue addressed in this update is
primarily for users of Windows 95, 98, and ME.
A relatively recent update of our Internet
communications library for ChessRally had some
threading issues under these "non-NT"
environments, making Internet communications not
work properly for some computers that utilized those
particular Windows operating systems. In any
case, this update fixes that issue. Users
running Windows 2000 or Windows XP do not need to
get this update unless they also did not get the
build 865 update, posted previously.

April 6, 2005 - ChessRally 2.6 Announced
Just so you all know... there will be a new
update (2.6) that contains a number of minor
changes, both to the chess game software, and to the
Online Rally Rooms server. The goal of the
upcoming update is to make the Rally Rooms
experience a bit better by reducing the number of
false positives on the anti-cheating measures
employed in 2.5 while locking down all other
potential cheating with extremely sophisticated
server-side validation. This combination will
give ChessRally the most sophisticated anti-cheating
measures for online chess on the planet. In
any case, there are other updates planned as well.
We were originally planning on releasing this as a
2.51 patch, but a few more changes have been slated,
and enough time has passed. As such, the
newest coming version will be 2.6. Naturally,
this will be a free update for all Gold Edition
customers, and for trial users, this will not effect
how much time they have on their trial period, which
will remain exactly the same. This next update
will be coming relatively soon, time as of yet to be
determined.
If you haven't got the latest 2.5 update (build 865)
you can download
that here.
