xpdnt_071017 released

[opraus]

Many bugs fixed, some things cleaned up/ simplified.

Do not expect too much strength improvement[the bug fixes eliminated that ]

Thanks to Dann [again] for adding draw recognition to main.c [root search]

Hi David,

Does this mean the timing problems of the last versions are
gone now?

Guenther,

I think so. I have played many(~100) xboard and Arena tourneys without problems.

I guess im missing the point here, or overlooking something. It might help if you had an exe in the folder.

Hello,

I renamed xpdnt in main directory to xpdnt.exe and tried to run
in Arena. No success.

A compile is what we need, I suppose.

Where ar thou Superman? errr, Jim?

i uploaded win32 and *nix executables:

xpdnt.exe [win32]

xpdnt [*nix]

these need to be placed in dir w/ settings.ini, obook.txt, and /logs dir

Hello David,

i uploaded win32 and *nix executables:

I also couldn't find anything but Linux version in there.
Linux version probably ate it in disgust or something

I've compiled my own Windows version: Intel compiler 10 PGO >

Should have checked your links again.
Sorry thought you meant you uploaded Win32 exe before

Jim.

BTW ...

This version does NOT use an evaluation hash, so ...

I set the ehashsize to 1 [in settings.ini, 0 wont work - I should fix that ]

A pawn hash might work well too ...

Thanks Jim for those compiles!
