Deal 3.1.9 Released

I was doing some research based on the work of Gordon Bower, and I stumbled on a few issues that apparently have been around for a while.

Changes in 3.1.9:
  • Fixed issue #14 - smartstack was broken on OS X
  • Fixed issue #15 - holding procedures implementation incomplete 
  • Added documentation of pattern functions to advanced.html
  • Minor documentation fix

Deal link fixed

Okay, with the release of the latest version, I broke my web site, and the link to Deal no longer worked.

I've fixed it, and the software can be downloaded from the usual location.

Deal 3.1.8 released

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.)
