Arena 3.0 is now available for download from the Arena webpage.
These are the novelities/improvements:
UCIFilter fixed+improved
Removing engines from memory after aborting tournament mode works now
It is now possible to make an engine weaker in ICS mode
Mainlines can be saved as variations in PGN (optional)
Nodes/sec now works for Winboard engines
New option for Knodes/second instead of nodes/second
Sound at start of Arena now hearable
Autoplayer repaired
Wine tournament bug fixed: engines can restart now
Wine font bug fixed: If fonts Arial or Courier New not available, choose appropriate one, not random one
Wine helpfile reader added as separate download
Wine does not show Chess Merida Arena's mask. Mask disabled on wine, so graphics is not spoilled
If no font "Wingdings" available (common on Wine), show simple '+','=' and '-' characters, not wrong ones
Inactive buttons in tournament mode visible, not invisible, but inactive as they should
Auto-Analysis: Comprehensive output in report starts with 1
Auto-Analysis: Bug removed where positions were not analyzed
Auto-Analysis: New option for adding parameter info in report file
In PGN output duplicate game result in braces removed, e.g.: {1-0 Arena adjudication} 1-0
Superflous "..." after last move in PGN removed
Winboard options "memory", "cores" and "egtpath" now globally setable
Bug in combo boxes in Winboard options removed
Option "Large Logos" works again
'Minimize to tray' feature during an Automatic analysis of the EPD files set is broken!
Every time when I restore Arena window from a tray I always get a new initial position analysed by engine instead of analysing the next one in the list.
I think you understand what I described here
Good Luck and Merry Christmas!
PS Shredder Classic is still unexpendable GUI to analyse EPD files...
Sure... if you noticed this before and you would have sent it to US it might have been fixed already. And still you didn't, don't and will not pay for Arena.
Now let's see if we would charge as much as Shredder does...
