Some errors under Linux

I get error messages when trying to use some of the new options in xboard
(version 4.3.15).

I use
Code: Select all
xboard [...other options...] -pgnExtendedInfo true \
      -adjudicateLossThreshold -800 -checkMates true -testClaims true \
      -materialDraws true -trivialDraws true -adjudicateDrawMoves 120 \
      -ruleMoves 51 -repeatsToDraw 6

from the within a script I use for years to start xboard.

From -pgnExtendedInfo true to -trivialDraws true it works fine and as expected.
For all following options I get error messages like this:

Code: Select all
xboard: unrecognized argument -adjudicateDrawMoves
.

Do other Linux users observe the same? Is there an error on my side? Or is there
something wrong?

You are right: -adjudicateDrawMoves does not seem implemented as an option in XBoard. Thanks for spotting this.!
