Nibbler - UCI оболочка, для игры с Leela

[svoitsl]

v1.5.9

Цитата:

Minor compatibility fix for when the engine sends castling moves in standard (as opposed to Chess 960) format
Added WDL from white POV option - thanks to @rahulmalayappan

[svoitsl]

v1.6.0

Цитата:

Some compatibility improvements for the upcoming Ceres 0.87.
A clickable halt button when the engine is running normally (thanks to @eahova)

[svoitsl]

v1.6.1

Цитата:

When Leela reports that it has spent 0 nodes analysing a move, display its winrate as "?" rather than "50%". Most noticably, this improves the display of losing moves in tablebase positions.

[svoitsl]

v1.6.3

Цитата:

Fix another issue with Ceres compatiblity where the stated node count for a position would be wrong, causing absurd numbers and all possible arrows to appear.


Fix a compatibility issue with Ceres (the Leela-ish alternate engine) in locales where decimal numbers use commas.

Note that Ceres must be configured before use in Nibbler (try running Ceres in the console and answering its questions).

Also, for best results with Ceres, note that using an N-based arrow filter (Display menu --> Arrow filter) is strongly recommended.

[svoitsl]

v1.6.4

Цитата:

Improve behaviour of logfile menu item.
Remove arrow filtering by U (now using N instead). This works better for Ceres and arguably for Leela as well.

[svoitsl]

v1.6.5

Цитата:

No important change from RC 3.
To recap then, v1.6.5 is mostly an internal cleanup of how Nibbler communicates with the engine. There are also some very minor improvements to the GUI, barely worth mentioning.
The engine-comms rewrite seems to be working as far as I can tell, but do let me know of any issues, especially desynchonisation messages.
This version may or may not be more reliable for the upcoming Ceres 0.89.
Fix changing behaviour when receiving a "bestmove" due to node limit, if the search position was locked.
Minor improvements to display of M and D when such values are not known.
Better logging.
As far as I can tell, the engine-comms rewrite seems OK. Let me know if you have any issues, especially if you ever see any "desync" messages.

Rewrote the code that communicates with the engine. All being well, this should make it much harder for the engine and Nibbler to end up out-of-sync with each other.
However, this was a substantial change in logic, and one cannot rule out the possiblity of bugs...
If all is well, there should be no noticeable change for the user.

v1.6.6

Цитата:

Display Ceres splash screen when using Ceres
Display tbhits in the infobar (only when a tablebase is loaded)
"Previous sibling" menu item, thanks to @Zenzizenzizenzike

[svoitsl]

v1.6.7

Цитата:

Option to display move numbers in PVs
Marginally better behaviour when using Stockfish (which remains Not Recommended)

[svoitsl]

v1.6.8

Цитата:

Changed some of the draw code. May improve visual quality when using certain custom piece sets.

[svoitsl]

v1.6.9

Цитата:

Slightly faster PGN loading.
Fix an issue with PVs when using Stockfish (which remains Not Actually Supported) in MultiPV = 1 mode .

[svoitsl]

v1.7.4

Цитата:

Filter out terrible moves when displaying arrows for A/B engine.
Configurable via Display --> Arrow filter (A/B)
Fix focus buttons sometimes not appearing when they should.
arious minor improvements to the infobox and arrows.
Inactive searchmove (a.k.a. "focus") buttons are now hidden when a search is running; this helps prevents PV misclicks. To add a searchmove you must now stop the engine. (Behind the scenes, changing searchmoves has always required this anyway.)
arious improvements when using A/B engines.
Fix a rare desync issue.
Always show all legal moves in the infobox.
Obsolete info from A/B engines (from an earlier time in the search) will be grayed out.
Option to display depth (for A/B engines only).

Some big internal changes to accomodate this; some chance of bugs; release candidate;


Makes Nibbler work more-or-less correctly with Stockfish and maybe other A/B engines.
Nothing magical can be done about the fact that MultiPV is inherently crippling to A/B engines, but you can choose a low MultiPV value (see the menu item Dev --> A/B MultiPV). This menu item does not affect Leela.
Filtering arrows is disabled for A/B engines; the number of arrows will be the MultiPV choice.
In several ways the overall experience is still nicer with Leela.

[svoitsl]

v1.7.6

Цитата:

Add some Hash options for Stockfish.
Don't send Leela options to Stockfish.
No important change from v1.7.4, just minor aesthetic things.
Some improvements (imo) of arrows in odd edge cases.
Uses a cheap trick to make Leela feel snappier when advancing the position.

[svoitsl]

v1.7.9

Цитата:

Fix a misbuilt v1.7.8
Dev option to suppress Chess960 format output (to the engine) so that engines which don't support it can still be run.
Mate scores in the infobox instead of +128 CP.
Option to show the next move in the game tree with an outlined arrow.

[Переяслав]

Чото намудрил автор. Теперь кнопка focus не работает при запущенном анализе начиная с версии 1.7.х

Для меня это крайне неудобно. Откатился назад.

[svoitsl]

v1.8.0

Цитата:

Automatically stops the engine before setting options (could crash Stockfish otherwise).
Restored the option to make the next actual move a unique colour.

[svoitsl]

v1.8.2

Цитата:

Fix changing the node limit during play-vs-engine causing the engine to take over even on your move.
Fix locked search restarting when it shouldn't (only happened when a node limit was in effect, and probably didn't have much effect on Leela anyway).



Fix 0 GB Hash option not working.
Make the "spotlight" (where all moves of a piece are shown when clicking) instant, rather than a bit laggy.
Fix an issue where log items might appear in the wrong order.

Hopefully the last version for a while. (Of course, now I've said that, there'll be some awful bug.)

To those of you who subscribe to updates, sorry for the 2-release-a-day schedule lately... but I've been filled with enthusiasm. But now I need a break.

[svoitsl]

v1.8.3

Цитата:

Fix "forget all analysis" still allowing the engine to update the position one time after it was blanked.
Improve various bits of behaviour around "locking" the engine, node limits, and searchmoves display (no real bugs, just GUI inconsistencies).

[svoitsl]

v2.0.0

Цитата:

Version 2.0.0 marks the completion of the effort to make Stockfish (and similar engines) work reasonably well.

We've come a long way since 1.0.0, when Nibbler needed to be manually configured with a text file...

Since then, we've gained - inter alia - Chess960 support, end-of-game detection, a legal moves display and movegen code, PGN and FEN compatibility improvements, a winrate graph, play versus engine and engine self-play, better engine configuration, full-game evaluation, custom pieces and custom backgrounds, various aesthetic improvements, a compliant UCI implementation, bugfixes, bugs, bugfixes, and finally Stockfish and A/B engine support.

P.S. Since many people complained - focus buttons are again (by default) shown when the engine is running.

[svoitsl]

v2.0.1

Цитата:

Support for Polyglot (.bin) books (these are vastly more efficient and faster to load than PGN).
An option to explore the currently loaded book is in the Display menu.
Loading a book will be less likely to hang the application.

[svoitsl]

v2.0.2

Цитата:

Drastically improve Polyglot loading speed (for example, by about 5000% in my case).
Reduce memory usage for Polyglot books by about 80%.

[Реналь]

По-моему, где-то здесь на форуме разъяснялось, что недопустимо использовать другие языки кроме русского. Эта тема вся на английском языке. Наверно ее, на основании данного принципа. надо удалить.

за это спасибо. вернули как было

[svoitsl]

v2.1.0

Цитата:

Minor improvements from RC1; even less likely to lockup when loading files.
To recap - v2.1.0 should show a vast speed improvement for loading large PGN files (not as a book, but just normally).



Big improvements around large PGN file handling, viz:

The loading process is about 100 times faster (really).
The loading process no longer totally takes over the application.
When over 100 games are present in the file, we no longer try to show them all at once.

This is such an improvement I'll call it 2.1.0. But there were big internal changes in the code to accomodate this, so I'll call it RC1. Please report any bugs, here or on the Leela Discord.

[svoitsl]

v2.1.2

Цитата:

Engine related options will now be stored for each engine individually.
Support setting the EvalFile option for Stockfish.
Fix parsing of some PGN files (thanks to @flori for discussion).
Unified paste FEN and paste PGN commands (thanks to @krisan, this was in 2.1.0 but I neglected to mention it).

Engine options are now stored in a new file, engines.json. If you had previously added special engine options manually (i.e. with a text editor) your old options will be stored in config.json so you can migrate them.

[svoitsl]

v2.1.3

Цитата:

If multiple engines are known, you can now quickly switch between them with Engine --> Choose known engine... (without going through a tedious file dialog).

[svoitsl]

v2.1.4

Цитата:

Fix the potentially confusing omission of the "limit met" message.

[svoitsl]

v2.1.4

[svoitsl]

v2.1.5

Цитата:

Allow the various winrate and centipawn options to be from any point of view.
Improve responsiveness of some menu items.

[svoitsl]

Праздничный выпуск
v2.1.6

Цитата:

Automatically save the window size when the user changes it.
Mostly fix Leela's Temperature setting not working. In the event you still have issues, upgrade to the "pro" version of Leela, which you can do by renaming it lc0_pro.exe. (Yes, really.)

In other news, I rewrote some of the code that deals with layout of items on the screen. In the event that you encounter any layout issues, please open a bug report here, or mention it in the Lc0 Discord.
