1.12: Blended ownership, bug fixes
New features:
- Ownership visualization was improved, thanks to the incredible work of @jacobm-tech
- The default style is now blended, but you can theme it to use marks, blocks, or blended style, and choose when to mark stones
- See themes for all the options
- Old themes have been updated to stay close to their former style
- Design improvement suggestions or bug reports can be added to this issue
- The default may change, particularly between 'all' or 'weak' stones marked, here is a quick poll to inform this decision
- Deeper analysis can now be applied only to a specific move range
*Continuous analysis and other extra analysis modes are now less aggressive in turning 'top move' hints on.- Using shift+spacebar instead of spacebar avoids turning them on in the remaining of starting continuous analysis.
Bug fixes and minor changes:
- Python 3.10 is supported again
- Wide root noise works correctly when set to 0.0 in config, this previously reverted to the default.
- Board rotation was fixed
- +Fix region of interest when board is rotated
- +No longer dependent on numpy, reducing binary size and improving startup time
- An improvement in the display for high resolution displays on windows
- When certain hints are turned off, as in the lizzie theme, hovering over them is now disabled as well
- Windows executables should now include version information, thanks to @ulty4life
Installation
- Windows users can simply download and run the KaTrain.exe file attached, or download the KaTrain.zip file and run the .exe in that (which is slightly faster to start up)
- macOS users can use the attached KaTrainOSX.dmg (open, drag .app to applications). The first time you start the app, you will need to control-click the app in finder to allow installation. Note that on the newer Macs with M1 architecture, you still need to brew install katago, or compile katago yourself.
- Linux and macOS users can install using pip3 install -U katrain
After installing the program for the first time, it is recommended to check general settings (F8) and download the latest katago models.
