Known Limitations/Bugs

• Server side validation for uploaded games (PHP) does not yet use checks and ep pawn captures to disambiguate.
  Therefore some valid pgn games will be rejected (but not many).
  
• Client side validation has no known bugs or limitations (JAVASCRIPT).
• Selfinstaller is missing.
• Need to prune some unused code from ltpgnviewer js files to speed loading.
• Crossbrowser validation has been with:
  • IE 6.0.2800.1106 and Firefox 1.5.0.9 & 2.0.0.2 under Windows 2000.
  • Firefox 2.0.0.3 and IE 7.0.6000.16386 under Windows Vista Ultimate.
• Help file yet to be written
• Plan to add email functions to search page
