Freecell Solver 2.32.0 released

Dear LWN,

I'm glad to announce that Freecell Solver version 2.32.0 was released today 
and is now available on the Freecell Solver homepage - 
http://fc-solve.berlios.de/ .

About:
------

Freecell Solver is an open-source (MIT/X11 Licensed) ANSI C-based library and 
some standalone command-line tools for solving Freecell and similar Solitaire 
variants such as Baker's Game, Seahaven Towers and Eight Off as well as Simple 
Simon. 

Freecell Solver has many run-time features and some compile-time options, and 
is fast and powerful. It is well-tested, under active development and has been 
integrated into several commercial and open-source programs so-far.

Changes since the last release:
-------------------------------

{{{{
Version 2.32.0: (24-Jun-2009)
-----------------------------

1. Added meaningful heading comments to the *.c and *.h files where they
were absent.

2. Many small memory/speed optimisations.

3. Removed a lot of unnecessary code and merged a lot of code. Used:
scripts/find-ids.rb for finding uncommonly occuring identifiers.

4. Converted many macros to inline functions.

5. Now calculating the bit-width of the 'int' data type in the CMake version. 
There's a fallback logic for it in config.h.

6. Extracted empty_two_cols_from_new_state() in freecell.c.

7. Restored the max_depth functionality. Currently not working very well.

8. Now supporting inline on non-GCC compilers using CMake.

9. Made many functions that were used only once or twice inline.

10. Added the --iters-update-on option to the threaded range solver.

11. Fixed some CMake bugs (especially wrong compiler flags to check).

12. Optionally link with Google's tcmalloc, which yields better performance
(especially for the multi-threaded solver).

13. Added the support for DLLEXPORT to not export fc_solve_* from the DLL.
This reduces the size of the .so / .dll considerably.
    
    - Added -fvisibility=hidden to the build.

14. Got rid of using preset.c for FCS_FREECELL_ONLY.
