- Multigather is now made the default (and also improved). Some search settings
have changed meaning, so if you have modified values please discard them.
Specifically,max-collision-events
,max-collision-visits
and
max-out-of-order-evals-factor
have changed default values, but other options
also affect the search. Similarly, check that your gui is not caching the old
values. - Performance improvements for the cuda/cudnn backends.
- Support for policy focus during training.
- Larger/stronger 15b default net for all packages except android, blas and dnnl
that get a new 10b network. - The distributed binaries come with the mimalloc memory allocator for better
performance when a large tree has to be destroyed (e.g. after an unexpected
move). - The
legacy
time manager will use more time for the first move after a long
book line. - The
--preload
command line flag will initialize the backend and load the
network during startup. - A 'fen' command was added as a UCI extension to print the current position.
- Experimental onednn backend for recent intel cpus and gpus.
