The engine thread is made responsible for parsing the GUI +commands that require the engine to be idle. These commands are passed to +it from the GUI thread through an internal command queue. The engine thread +can peek in this queue when a search terminates and it enters the idle or +pondering state. It only goes reading the ponder output after all queued +commands are processed. This way the GUI thread is sensitive to input all +the time, and can instantly handle all commands by either processing those +that can be done during search, and queueing the others. In the latter case +it can abort an ongoing search to divert the attention of the engine thread +back to the command queue. + Other changes are: +Added option to force the engine to ponder if force mode (for OTB tournaments). +Produce a compliant error message for unknown commands. +Fix time increment in ponder-on games (which was subtracted rather than added). +Set UCCI newgame option after initial isready handshake rather than before it. +Suppress spurious sending of 'uxinewgame' in UCCI mode. +Suppress 'setup' command in the standard variants 'suicide' and 'losers'. +Add support for robbobases and Scorpio bitbases as EGT flavors. +Support extended UCI info-string-variant command that can set board size. +Assume engines with UCI_Chess960 option but no UCI_Variants play only Chess and +Chess960, and not xiangqi or shogi. + 24/12/2016 3.0 Implement UCI_AnalyseMode option Support egtpath command for Nalimov, Gaviota and Syzygy -- 1.7.0.4
