Hi all,

Freecell Solver version 5.0.0 was released and can be downloaded from
its homepage at http://fc-solve.shlomifish.org/ . Freecell Solver is a
reusable
and open-source (MIT/Expat-licensed) library, written in portable C11 with
some
GCCisms (32-bit/64-bit, UNIX/Linux and MS Windows), that can automatically
solve the Solitaire game Freecell and some similar Solitaire variants.

The Freecell Solver distribution also includes some standalone command-line
programs that make use of the library. Freecell Solver has a large amount
of features, supports many different run-time heuristics that may yield
different solutions, is a fast solver, and supports the largest number of
Solitaire variants of all other solvers of its kind.

The new release has some new features, some hopefully minor breakages and
some
cleanups. More information can be found in the NEWS.asciidoc / NEWS.html
( http://fc-solve.shlomifish.org/docs/distro/NEWS.html ), quoted below.

Regards,

Version 5.0.0: (27-Oct-2018)
----------------------------

1. *Breaking change*: made the userland headers +fcs_user.h+, +fcs_cl.h+,
etc.
includable only as +#include <freecell-solver/fcs_cl.h>+. The API and ABI
should otherwise remain the same.

2. Add the gen-multiple-pysol-layouts executable to generate several
numbered
deals as separate files.

3. Added the experimental fc-solve-multi solver to solve several files in
one go (not installed by default).

4. Rename the AsciiDoc documents from +\*.txt+ to +\*.asciidoc+, in order to
please GitHub/etc. ; updated them and fixed some formatting.
