Full-SVG 500 made mouse-operable for newcomers: kitty Discard button and five-card cap, on-table phase banner, ? Help/Rules overlay with the bid legend, legal-play dimming, card-size slider, and a layout pass that moves the Help and size controls into the log panel so nothing overlaps. Bump all files to 1.0.90, add NEWS, a README testing quick-start, and make the shared engine files checkdoc-clean.

========================================
|
|
|
|
* Version 1.0.90 (pre-test snapshot)
|
|
|
|
This release grows the package from the five-game 1.0.60 candidate to a
|
|
full collection of 30 games, all of which now draw SVG card faces on a
|
|
graphical display (with a plain-text fallback in the terminal) and accept
|
|
the mouse as well as the keyboard.
|
|
|
|
** New games (since 1.0.60)
|
|
- Solitaire: Klondike, FreeCell, Spider, Yukon, Forty Thieves,
|
|
Scorpion, Canfield; Golf, TriPeaks, Pyramid.
|
|
- Trick-taking: Hearts, Spades, Whist, Oh Hell, Euchre, Pitch,
|
|
Briscola, and Contract Bridge (auction, dummy, rubber scoring).
|
|
- Rummy family: Gin Rummy, Rummy, Rummy 500, Hand & Foot.
|
|

|
|

|
(These join Gaps/Montana, Hell's Half-Acre, and 500 from 1.0.60.)
|
|
|
|
** Graphics and input
|
|
- SVG card faces for every game, behind per-game ~cg-*-svg-cards~
|
|
toggles, with a plain-text fallback off a graphical display.
|
|
- Mouse support everywhere: click cards to select or play, click board
|
|
slots and buttons, and use an on-screen card-size slider plus the
|
|
~+~ / ~-~ / ~0~ zoom keys.
|
|
|
|
** Rummy-family rules completed
|
|
- Rummy 500: take a card from anywhere in the discard pile (key ~T~) --
|
|
you take it plus every card above it, and meld the chosen card at once.
|
|
- Hand & Foot: pick up the discard pile (~p~) by melding its top card
|
|
with two natural cards; red threes score as bonus cards; and each
|
|
round opens with a rising go-down minimum (50, 90, 120, 150).
|
|
|
|
** 500 full-SVG UI
|
|
- The kitty exchange is fully mouse-driven: a Discard button, a five-card
|
|
selection cap, an on-table guidance banner, legal-play dimming during
|
|
play, and a clickable ~? Help / Rules~ overlay.
|
|
- A card-size slider scales the South hand; layout fixes to the
|
|
"Next hand" button and the hand fan.
|
|
- Live multiplayer 500 over TCP (~M-x cg-bid-host~ / ~M-x cg-bid-join~).
|
|
|
|
* Version 1.0.60
|
|
- First multi-game release candidate: Montana/Gaps, Hell's Half-Acre,
|
|
500 (with live multiplayer). SVG rendering foundation and the
|
|
renderer-strategy registry.
|
|
|
|
* Version 1.0.50
|
|
- Initial ELPA-suitable packaging of the engine, Gaps, and 500.
