Howdy All,

We have finally released version 1.00 of GNUBG. This release uses the
stronger neural nets weights files that Philippe Michel recently released.

I have produced a new MS Windows build to mark the occasion. You must
download the full installer (setup program). This release uses a
slightly newer versions of GTK, GLIB etc as well as Python 2.7.
Previously we used Python 2.6 . The build process for releases now uses
a normal "autogen, configure, make" process under MinGW instead of a a
hand crafted Makefile.

I recommend uninstalling a previous release of GNUBG if you intend to
install into an existing GNUBG directory.

I am releasing this to the mailing list before I update the webpages at
gnubg.org . The setup executable can be downloaded here:

http://files.gnubg.com/media/windows/gnubg-1_00_000-20130519-setup.exe

The source tarball is available here:

http://files.gnubg.com/media/sources/gnubg-release-1_00_000-sources.tar.gz

CVS has been tagged as release-1_00_000

I have attached the ChangeLog with the other changes/modifications since
the October 24th, 2012 MS Windows release.

Questions, comments, problems don't hesitate to contact me. I will put
this release onto the webpages on Monday.

        * configure.ac eval.h gnubg.weights doc/gnubgdb.xml
          doc/gnubg/* doc/gnubgman.xml: Version bumped to V1.00.0 .
        * gnubg.c: Change default MET to Kazaross-XG2.xml

2013-04-13  Philippe Michel  <[email protected]>

        * import.c: Interpret some of the comments eXtreme Gammon puts at
        the start of .mat files to fill match information in and determine
        game variation.
        * export.c: Writes similar comments when exporting as .mat

        * matchequity.c: Recalculate gammon prices after inverting the MET.
        This is needed for asymetric tables. Problem reported by Maik Stiebler
        in bug-gnubg.

2013-03-15  Michael Petch  <[email protected]>
        * doc/gnubg/* doc/gnubgdb.xml doc/gnubgman.xml: Version
        bumped to V0.91.0 in the documentation.

2013-03-07  Philippe Michel  <[email protected]>

        * gnubg.c: Use stronger default settings for Computer opponent,
        Tutor and Analysis (2 ply instead of 0 ply) and for rollouts (0 ply
        checker play and 2 ply cube instead of 0 ply for everything).
        Increase the default JSDs and minimum trials to stop a rollout early.

        * eval.c: Use SSE instructions, if available, in the pruning nets
        computations. This is a small speed improvement but constrains the
        size of the pruning nets' intermediate layer to be a multiple of 4.

2013-03-06  Philippe Michel  <[email protected]>

        * configure.ac, credits.sh, eval.h, gnubg.weights: New nets.
        Version bumped to 0.91.

2013-02-17  Philippe Michel  <[email protected]>

        * format.c: Use EMG by default in matchplay analysis output since
        these numbers are generally easier to interpret than MWC.

2013-01-23  Philippe Michel  <[email protected]>

        * simpleboard.c, simpleboard.h, export.c: Improve export of
        positions in cairo graphics. Problem reported by Leo Bueno.

2012-10-25  Michael Petch  <[email protected]>
        * gnubgmodule.c : Add movetupletostring method to the Python
        interface. Added support for tuples generated by findbestmove
        and parsemove.
