I uploaded a new version of Djinn, which should do a better job of managing its time. I ran thousands of games using the Fischer time controls of 1"+0.1" and 1"+0.5" without any time losses. I also enhanced the time management algorithms for the more traditional time control of 'X' moves/'Y' minutes, also without any time losses.

------------------------
I o Modified the way the configuration file is parsed. It now accepts
path names that contain spaces. The path names can be enclosed in
double quotes or not. Either way of defining the path should work.
This should make things work better under Windows.

-----------
S o Restructured and enhanced the time managment code so that it
handles millisecond resolution time controls.
If you try it and you do see time failures, please let me know. I'd like to squash all such bugs once and for all if possible. I uploaded a 64-bit version for both Windows and Linux. I'll release the 32-bit Windows version this weekend.
Tom, I have almost finished testing v0.969 for the CCRL, and, as error margins are bound to overlap anyway, I have decided to skip this version and wait for something spectacular'. Not that +120 Elos is not spectacular enough for me...
Cheers,
George,
No worries, this update is definitely NOT 120+ elo (maybe 5 or so). You should be fine
with the old version as long as you're not trying to run really fast time controls. I'll let
you know when I have something really "spectacular"!

Oops, sorry Gabor my finger slipped. It's unfortunate that you and George aren't
speaking these days. Hopefully, you'll patch it up soon. Life really is too short.

Tom, I have no idea what Gabor is talking about, unless he assumes that because of some past issues with CCRL- I held something ag. him, which I don't. I challenge anyone to find a thread where we even had an argument. I admit we haven't talked lately, but that is probably natural because we don't have CCRL in common any longer.
Now whether or not he holds something ag. me, that would be another question. I have always liked and respected him. His comment sort of floored me. I really don't know how to answer it.

George,
It seems to me you haven't noticed that till now there hasn't been any George in this thread... how could I know what George Tom was talking to?
I assure you, I don't know of any issue to give me a reason to hold something against you.
Best wishes,
Gábor
It was only that he and I had just been talking about his engine when these threads came up. I assumed he typed "George" by accident, and that he was referring to me when he said he hoped we would patch things up. If there is another "George" that you are not on speaking terms with, it looks like I owe you an apology. And since I have known you to always be truthful, please accept my apology.
No, stay with your wit. You wouldn't be "you" without it. I should have caught that myself- seeing as we have never even argued about anything. My fault.

BTW, if I needed some emergency help testing- but the results had to be extremely, extremely accurate- you would be at the top of a very short list.

Gabor/George,
Yes, I assumed you were talking about "George Speight" because as he mentioned
we've been corresponding lately. BTW, Gabor please don't change your clever witticisms.
They're the type of things that make this forum unique and enjoyable. As for me, I'll try
to pay more attention to who I address things to.
