This project is archived and is no longer being developed. No support is available. Bug reports, feature requests and pull requests are not being accepted.

A user guide is available in open document and PDF formats in this repo's Docs directory. The user guide is also included in the final release.

Final release

The final release of the program is v4.1.1.

Source Code

The source code was not originally developed under version control. Eventually the source code was moved to a Subversion repository. A summary of changes made before moving to version control can be found in Docs/PreSVNHistory.txt. The remainder of the history was recorded in the Subversion repo, a dump of which has been uploaded to SVN/8queens-svndump.zip [download].

Commits since the last release

The main branch of this project differs from the final release in two ways.

1. The original README.md file has been renamed README-original.md so that this file will be displayed on GitHub.
2. 8queens-svndump.zip was uploaded to the SVN directory, as noted above.

The original README.md is the one that is included with the final release. It is also included in the source code zip file for that release.

The source code as it was at the final release can be viewed on GitHub by switching to the v4.1.1-FINAL tag.
