Version 1.3, 6 may 2008
The rules can now be configured in order to match with all other
standard rules, and in particular, the rules of the Oware Society.
Four parameters are introduced,
1 The option -e or --eat to specify the maximum number of holes that 
can be eaten.
2 The option -m or --noeatmore to specify that nothing is eaten when
trying to eat more than the maximum allowed.
3 The option -a or --noeatall to specify that nothing is eaten when
trying to eat all the opponent stones although the move is allowed.
4 The option -k or --noattackall to specify that it is forbiden to
attack all the opponent stones, excepted if this is the only possible
move.
These parameters can be configured via xawale in graphical mode or 
via awale -emak in console mode.

Version 1.2, 31 august 2007
Level 1 has been reduced and level 0 is introduced for beginners.
Just played hole is highlighted with black circles.
Translation in English, French and Spanish.

Version 1.1, may 13 2007
It is now possible to load and save games in file.
Shortcuts Crtl+N, Crtl+O, Crtl+S, Crtl+Z and Crtl+Q now work.

Version 1.0
First version written in C language.

When CPU plays line 1 at depth 21 with the board
1 0 0 0 0 0 score 10
0 1 1 1 1 0 score 33
it plays 5 instead of 3 !

Furthermore, in the same situation, a cyclic game is found.

The board 
10 1 2  1  1 3
1  0 10 10 8 1
played with -d 1 -c 2 -l 1 leads to an unreasonable CPU time !

3 bugs reported.
