Dear Computer Chess Community,
This is the official release of Toga II 2.0, at the Toga Developers Discussion Board.
http://www.computerchess.info/tdbb/phpB ... hp?id=1395
This version is significantly stronger than previous Toga versions, although I will not make an estimate.
From readme.txt:
TOGA II 2.0
- This development of Toga is by Jerry Donald
- The code was based on Toga II 1.4.1SE by Fabien Letouzey, Thomas Gaksch and Chris Formula
- Thanks to Jim Ablett for the compile
- Thanks to Denis Mendoza for the compiles of many, many development versions
- Thanks to Thomas Gaksch and Fabien Letouzey for the Fruit/TogaII source code
- Thanks to Shaun Brewer for the test support
Changes:
- Futility Margin is now dependent on played move count
- Razoring full_quiescence() bounds fixed (thanks to Lucas Braesch)
- Several eval() bounds fixed
- Improved Pawn Shelter
- Improved Knight Outpost
- Improved Bishop Mobility
- New Endgame Material Adjustments
- Piece Values tweaked
- Egbb bugfix (Teemu Pudas)
The development will be continued, and in fact I already have a slightly stronger development version.
Jerry Donald

I had a free computer, so I have started a gauntlet for the CCRL 40/4.

Re: Toga II 2.0 release
Thank you Jerry.
I don't seem to be able to make it use bitbases though. Using them with other engines with no issues. Fritz GUI under Win 7.
Is there a particular version of a dll I need?
Thanks again,
PK

Re: Toga II 2.0 release
Hi Peter,
Yes, Toga uses the old egbb dll - v 2.0 or older. Upgraded is on my TODO list.
Sorry about that,
Jerry

Re: Toga II 2.0 release
Thanks Ingo! Butbase support is unchanged from Toga 1.4beta5c, and only works with 3-4 men bitbases. I am not at my pc at the moment but I will try to add the right dll to the package.
In the meantime, could you try it with the dll you used for 1.4beta5c and the same settings? I think it will work fine.
