H.G.Muller [Tue, 15 Nov 2016 09:44:53 +0000]
Alter version number to 2.0.4
H.G.Muller [Tue, 15 Nov 2016 09:39:16 +0000]
Describe SettingsFile option in manual
H.G.Muller [Tue, 15 Nov 2016 09:27:39 +0000]
Fix and improve move choice with learning
A new formula is used to recalculate weights when the BookLearn option is on.
Unlike the old one, this allows the effective weight to increase by an
arbitrarily large factor between a move that always wins and one that always
draws (or between one that always draws and one that always loses).
H.G.Muller [Sun, 28 Feb 2016 09:04:53 +0000]
Update README and some config changes
It seems 'configure' was unintentionally, but drastically changed by
running another version of autoconf. The intended change redefines the
e-mail address for sending bug reports to bug-xboard@gnu.org. And the
README now mentions the new mate-score convention.
H.G.Muller [Tue, 20 Oct 2015 15:09:22 +0000]
Make new XBoard mate-score convention default
XBoard now uses 100000+DTM as matescore; this encoding will be used
when the Polyglot MateSCore option is set to 0, which is the new
default value.
H.G.Muller [Mon, 23 Mar 2015 10:35:29 +0000]
Implement UCI_PlayByNodes option
Polyglot now suppresses passing any option called UCI_PlayByNodes as
CECP option feature. It remembers the option, and uses its presence
to determine whether to handle a received CECP "nps" command by
using "go nodes" calculated from an improvised TC, or to just pass
it as value for UCI_PlayByNodes. Any "new" command would reset
UCI_PlaByNodes to 0.
H.G.Muller [Mon, 23 Mar 2015 10:14:04 +0000]
Extend book-format specs to large boards
H.G.Muller [Fri, 7 Nov 2014 08:45:02 +0000]
Alter version number to 2.03
H.G.Muller [Fri, 7 Nov 2014 08:37:21 +0000]
Remove relaying of engine output to GUI for debugging
A prints statement used for debugging was left in the source, which would
relay any engine output to the GUI as comment line. Problem was that
XBoard chokes on lines that contain "not found" even if they are commented.
H.G.Muller [Fri, 10 Oct 2014 10:30:35 +0000]
Alter version number to 2.0.2
H.G.Muller [Fri, 10 Oct 2014 10:17:03 +0000]
Update ChageLog and README
H.G.Muller [Fri, 10 Oct 2014 09:07:40 +0000]
Turn Polyglot Affinity into a string option
Now that more than 4 cores/hyper-threads are pretty common, having
to set the mask in decimal, as needed for spin options, can be a real
disaster!
H.G.Muller [Fri, 10 Oct 2014 08:35:12 +0000]
Repair Affinity option
Affinity was set in the engine startup routine, but the latter was always
done before the ini file had been completely read. The Affinity value
is now extracted explicitly from the ini file before engine startup.
The test for validity of the process handle was also reversed.
Affinity is marked as an XBoard option, but not in the standard set,
as it still would not work when set interactively. It does not work
in -noini mode, but requires an old-fashoned ini file.
H.G.Muller [Mon, 8 Sep 2014 11:57:20 +0000]
Update link to book description
The old link was not working anymore, and replaced by a link to my
own website (which also describes the variant extensions to the format).
H.G.Muller [Mon, 8 Sep 2014 11:43:56 +0000]
Add ini.c to MSVC makefile
H.G.Muller [Mon, 8 Sep 2014 11:40:12 +0000]
Update man page
The newly added options for resign and draw handling, and display
of tabebase hits are described in the manual.
H.G.Muller [Mon, 8 Sep 2014 11:07:59 +0000]
Correct manual entry on BookLearn
This was saying the option was a noop!
H.G.Muller [Sat, 30 Aug 2014 08:58:32 +0000]
Change default UCI name to "unknown"
The old default for uninitialized strings, "<empty>", was inconvenient
because it contained characters that are not allowed in filenames,
and WinBoard constructs the proposed name for saving PGN from it.
(Which then tickles a bug in the Windows file-browse dialog.)
H.G. Muller [Wed, 15 Jan 2014 19:45:56 +0000]
Switch to new tbhits protocol
The extended info is now sent in "%2d %4.0f %d\t" format.
H.G. Muller [Tue, 14 Jan 2014 21:18:56 +0000]
Relay fail-lo/fail-high info
The UCI upperbound and lowerbound keywords with a score now lead to suffixing
of the PV with ? or !, respectively.
H.G. Muller [Tue, 14 Jan 2014 19:34:28 +0000]
Implement protocol extension for Thinking Output
The ShowTbHits option is now extended to also contain engine speed (knps)
and selective depth. These are now also printed during ponder.
H.G. Muller [Fri, 27 Dec 2013 20:02:48 +0000]
Implement support for Syzygy EGTs
H.G. Muller [Fri, 27 Dec 2013 19:49:25 +0000]
Add PG option to show tablebase hits
The new option Polyglot ShowTbHits makes Polyglot prefix all PVs with
the number of EGT hits between braces.
H.G. Muller [Fri, 18 Jan 2013 09:27:47 +0000]
Allow UCI engines to emit WB commands wrapped as info strings
Any info-string starting ith the keyword 'xboard' will be forwarded to
the GUI (after stripping the 'xboard') literally.
H.G. Muller [Fri, 18 Jan 2013 09:26:35 +0000]
Limit UCI Hash setting to engine-specified maximum
H.G. Muller [Wed, 18 Apr 2012 17:44:13 +0000]
Update Changelog, spec file
H.G. Muller [Wed, 18 Apr 2012 16:49:54 +0000]
Update format description
Stuff about learning that is no longer true in recent Polyglots was
removed, as was the stuff about zero weights. A paragraph was added
on how XBoard extends the format foruse in other variants.
H.G. Muller [Wed, 18 Apr 2012 15:53:47 +0000]
Delete files no longer part of project
The .cpp files have long since been converted to .c files, and some
C++-specific .h files were also still around. Only files that are also
in the Debian package for 1.4.67b are left now.
H.G. Muller [Wed, 14 Mar 2012 19:49:25 +0000]
Fully implement exclude feature
Polyglot now understands the commands "exclude|include MOVE|all".
The list of excluded moves is cleared on "undo" or any move, and can be
interrogated through the "bk" command (when book is off), printing an
asterisk in front of each excluded move. An "exclude all" is deferred
until there are again enabled moves. New searches are only started
when the list of excluded moves actually changes.
H.G. Muller [Mon, 12 Mar 2012 12:19:51 +0000]
Alter version number to 2.0.1
H.G. Muller [Mon, 12 Mar 2012 12:13:40 +0000]
Add option to exclude moves
The proposed WB protocol command "kill MOVE" is implemented to exclude
the given move from analysis. For the time being (as long as XBoard does
not implement this), a Polyglot option "exclude move" is also supplied,
so the user can exclude moves "by hand" with the Engine Settings dialog.
H.G. Muller [Mon, 12 Mar 2012 12:01:29 +0000]
Add option to allow Polyglot to accept draw offers
For engines that do not support the UCI_DrawOffers option, Polyglot
can accept a draw offer based on a contempt score.
H.G. Muller [Mon, 12 Mar 2012 11:18:33 +0000]
Add option to resign only without queen
H.G. Muller [Thu, 9 Jun 2011 10:05:54 +0000]
Enable book learning
Also use the learn info during probing.
