New engine releases 2020

[Roland Chastain]

Alouette 0.1.0 is available. Now the program uses an opening book in Spracklen format. I took this idea from the program La Dame Blanche by Marc-Philippe Huget.

Otherwise it's the same program, with small corrections here and there.

I created a git repository with the source code of Clericus/Hopeless by Pawel Koziol. I made some modifications for compatibility with the current version of the Delphi compiler, tried to refresh the graphical interface, added a french translation and made some other little modifications. The repository is here:

https://gitlab.com/rchastain/hopeless

About the engine, Pawel tried some new settings, and I added the missing character to the move string in case of promotion, which CuteChess considers an illegal move. I made a Win32 build of the engine, under the version number 0.49.0.1. You can find it here:

I don't provide a build of Clericus (the full program with its graphical interface) because it isn't finished. (In fact, It's the same application, but built with different options.)

Regards.

Hello! The version released yesterday has a bug. In some cases it plays illegal move. It is replaced by v0.49.0.2.

I don't see how it can be compiled with a few header files missing, which should be the include folder, but are not there.
At least zobrist.h and coords.h are missing...

May be Tony can look into it.

I don't think it's possible to compile without the missing files zobrist.h, coords.h and lut.h. All of these missing files are listed in the .gitignore file, so it appears they were deliberately left out of source control. I am not sure why.
