chessground 5.1.0

Chess board UI developed for lichess.org. It has no chess logic inside so it can be used for chess variants.

5.1.0

• Dragging a piece to the same square will now keep the piece selected.

5.0.0

• Added another Chessboard.fixed constructor that allows to set the board to a fixed position.
• Premove state is now lifted up to the parent widget, in order to allow instant play of premoves.
• Promotion state is now lifted up to the parent widget, in order to allow more control over the promotion dialog.
• Add symmetric piece set (PieceAssets.symmetric).
• ChessboardEditor now supports highlighting squares.
• Flip BoardSettings.dragFeedbackOffset.dy for flipped pieces. Support displaying all pieces upside down based on side to move.
• Fix: ensure the board background does not overflow the board.

Breaking changes:

• Chessboard now require a game parameter of type GameData instead of BoardData.
• Added required parameters piece and pieceAssets to PieceShape, removed role. Added optional opacity parameter.
• Remove 'ChessboardState.opponentsPiecesUpsideDown' in favor of ChessboardSettings.pieceOrientationBehavior.

4.0.0

New features:

• Add a ChessboardEditor widget, intended to be used as the basis for a board editor like lichess.org/editor.
• Add the writeFen helper function.

Breaking changes:

• Requires an SDK version of at least 3.3.0.
• Chessground is now dependant on dartchess. It is only used for the models, and not for the game logic, so Chessground can still be used with any chess library.
• Board has been renamed to Chessboard, along with other classes.

Bug fixes:

• Fix arrow bad shape when new destination is the same as the origin: it now returns a circle.
• Fix unsetting premoves:
  • When a premove is set, tapping on the same origin square will now unset it.
  • dragging a piece to an invalid square will now unset the premove.
  • dragging a piece off the board will now unset the premove.

3.2.0

• Add pieceShiftMethod to BoardSetttings, with possible values: either (default), drag, or tapTwoSquares.

3.1.2

• Any simultaneous touch on the board will now cancel the current piece selection or drag.

3.1.1

• Allow shapes to be drawn on a non-interactable board.
• Fix a bug where the board would be stuck after transitioning from a non-interactable board to an interactable one.
• Selecting a piece will now clear all shapes on the board.
• Add the scale property to all Shape classes. Use a 0.8 scale for the shapes being drawn on the board to distinguish them from the already drawn ones.

3.1.0

• Add an optional scale parameter to arrows (default is scale: 1.0, matching the previous behavior).
• Implement BoardData.copyWith method to allow updating the board data
• Implement BoardData equality and hashcode operators
• Implement BoardSettings equality and hashcode operators

3.0.0

Improve board interaction and add support for drawing shapes while playing.

Playing:

• pieces are now moved with pointer down events, instead of a tap events (pointer down followed by a pointer up event): this allows to move a piece faster
• premoves are not anymore cleared when selecting another piece: this matches lichess website behaviour and allow to prepare another move along with the premove that is currently set

Drawing shapes (experimental)

• drawing shapes is now possible while keeping the normal board play interaction (before it was either one or another mode)
• one can draw a shape by holding a finger to an empty square while using a second finger to draw a shape anywhere in the board
• a double tap on an empty square will clear all shapes at once
• to clear a single shape is still supported: draw the same shape again
