Arena 3.9 beta for Linux

[crem]

... same as previous version - with Debian 9 new Arena is fine, with Debian 10 it is not working for me

Which window manager do you use, and how exactly it doesn't work?
Arena is known not to be able to start in tiling window managers (e.g. i3wm).

Hello Crem

i use a Debian 10 Derivate called SolydX 10, it has a XFCE-Desktop.
May be Debian 10 did nt support some library Debian 9 did.
I am not a hardcore linuxer - but even by root console Arena GUI did nt start.
As told under Solydx 9 it run smooth by only one click on the program file.
Any help is appreciated. Of course i send a mail to Martin Blume about this issue,
but get no reply.

I have used Arena 1.1 in MX Linux 19 on pen drive. The scores are reported wrongly when an xboard engine plays as white. I am happy to see this problem fixed in Arena 3.9 beta.

Runs fine with Mint 19.3 (Debian 64 bit). Issues:
- nps count shows missing character in between thousands sign
- belofte is a wb2 engine (ini file)

Some engines not working:
- Neg, Neophyte

Enhancements: Arena sends following commands to engine, while there is no reason to do so with WB2 and not requested by the engine.
option Hash=64
option Ponder=false

Maybe this is a bug about tournament.
I have a set of 12 EPD positions, each engine must play with white and black so this makes 24 games.
The problem is that after playing 2 games with the first position, it never goes to the next position, whatever the settings are.

sorry I was wrong, Martin answered - but his mail was stored in a spam-folder, I recognize it today the first time.
He is on a hard way to solve this silly issue with Arena Gui 4 Linux and Debian 10.
He is a real nice man.

Thank you Martin !

Thanks for mentioning this, I'm switching to it from ScidvsPC. If I can adjudicate using 6pc tbs even better.

Thank you Martin !

He gives his email address in a cryptic way. I tried several addresses without success. blume@arena.de, martin.blume@arena.de etc. Each time I get a "Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender". Can you give the correct address because I want to report a bug.
Thanks.
