Changelog for polyglot-debugsource-1.4.70b-150600.2.pm.7.x86_64.rpm :

* Fri Nov 11 2016 aloisioAATTgmx.com- Update to 1.4.70b
* merge-book did not work correctly on Windows. 1.4.69b
* Adapt to latest version of header format. 1.4.68b
* Make Polyglot merge-book and make-book aware of the new header format. 1.4.67b
* Disable \"book learning\". Polyglot saves learning information but does not use it itself, probably for a reason. I believe the booklearning concept of Polyglot is fundamentally broken. Learning information is engine specific so it should not be saved in the opening book (it might be saved elsewhere). There are other issues as well, such as copyright and the possibility of the proliferation of polluted books. Opening books can be improved with information from games by using the merge command. This is a form of off line learning which is probably much more effective since one has strict control over what kind of information is added to the book. 1.4.66b
* Fix a printf 32 vs 64 bit format (crash) bug which manifested itself on windows. 1.4.65b
* Bugfix: dump-book with -color black generated the file book_white.txt.- Updated homepage- Spec cleanup
* Tue Jan 04 2011 packmanAATTlinks2linux.de - 1.4.64b- updated to 1.4.64b ========1.4.64b================= Reduce movetime in the implementation of the fixed time per move command, to account for differences in the wording of the protocols.
* Mon Dec 27 2010 packmanAATTlinks2linux.de - 1.4.63b- updated to 1.4.63b ========1.4.63b================= Give ponder move as hint. Support for egtpath gaviota (this is a bit hacky right now). ========1.4.62b================= StringSize was not everywhere the same in Polyglot. This could lead to a buffer overflow in case of very long PV\'s.
* Sun Nov 07 2010 packmanAATTlinks2linux.de - 1.4.61b- updated to 1.4.61b ========1.4.61b================= uci_isready replaced by uci_isready_sync. Polyglot should not send commands to the engine while it is syncing
* Fri Oct 01 2010 packmanAATTlinks2linux.de - 1.4.60b- updated to 1.4.60b ========1.4.60b================= The result string after an illegal move now shows the actual attempted move. ========1.4.59b================= Bugfix: the changes in 1.4.57b created a regression where the input buffer of polyglot could overflow with engines producing lots of output very fast.
* Thu Apr 29 2010 packmanAATTlinks2linux.de - 1.4.58b- updated to 1.58b
* Implementation of BookDepth in UCI mode.
* Small corrections to the manpage.
* First attempt at killing engines that do not react to \"quit\".
* Fri Jan 01 2010 AxelKoellhoferAATTweb.de- update to 1.4.56b
* Mon Sep 07 2009 AxelKoellhoferAATTweb.de- update to 1.4.46b- The default persistence directory on Windows is now _PG. The names of the engine specific ini files are mangled so as not to contain spaces.- PG now tries to guess if a string option is really a file or a path (like in the Arena GUI).
* Sat Sep 05 2009 AxelKoellhoferAATTweb.de- update to 1.4.45b- =========1.4.45b================ The engine specific config files (.ini) are now stored in a separate directory. $HOME/.polyglot on Linux and \"./Polyglot Settings\" on Windows. The engine specific config files are now complete config files. So they can be used in a stand alone fashion. Implemented a minor hack to make xboard show error messages during startup.- =========1.4.44b================ \"Implementation\" of new buttons and controls. The \"Persist\" option is now persistent. That is if you turn of \"Persist\" then as a special case PG will remember this. There is now a \"reset\" button which restores the default options. The code is commented out since WB does not support it yet.- =========1.4.42b================ SaveSettingsOnExit/SaveFile renamed as Persist/PersistFile. Many bug fixes in the persistence feature. The PG_.ini file now contains only options that have been changed. So the resulting ini files are much smaller. This makes this version of PG usable on WB 4.3.15 as now the engine specific ini file will be empty (the user has no way to change options).- =========1.4.41b================ Some segfaults fixed in case of corrupt config files. Persistence of options. If the option SaveSettingsOnExit is true (the default) PolyGlot now saves its options in a file whose name is given by the option SaveFile which by default is equal to the engine name, prefixex by PG_ and suffixed by \".ini\".
* Mon Aug 24 2009 AxelKoellhoferAATTweb.de- update to 1.4.39b - Refactoring of config file parsing - Fix crash bug in epd-test - Do not export Chess960. This is handled completely internally. - Do not export UCI_Opponent and UCI_Chess960. These are handled internally. - PG can now also be comfortably configured through command line options (i.e. without using a config file). - Allow quotes in configfile (as in Fonzy Bleumer\'s PG).
