sanderland/katrain v1.4.0 on GitHub

With the release of KataGo v1.6.x, efficient support for CPU-only KataGo is finally here!

Short video with new features

Download and select any KataGo binary for windows or linux directly from within KaTrain.
- Selecting an 'eigen' binary will allow you to use KaTrain without a GPU!
- See the KataGo release notes for more information.
Override KataGo command.
- Previously implemented as a hack where you could "quote" your katago path, it is now a separate field.
- This can be used to connect to a remote server running a KataGo analysis engine.

Option to show point loss as text.
- As the number of users has grown, it's clear that some prefer to see the point loss on each candidate move in detail, whether it be for analyzing pro games, or a difficulty distinguishing colours.
- Although still turned off by default for a cleaner look, the option for this can be found under 'teaching/analysis settings'.
Animated 'pondering' indication when continuous analysis is on.
- Before, it was often not clear whether the engine was still pondering or not, causing some confusion.
- It now shows an half-orange and half-yellow spinning circle where the engine busy status is indicated.

Finally, when a move is undone in teaching mode, 'expected territory' will show expected losses in red.
- This should allow for a hint on the important regions of the board, without checking the expected refutation in detail (which often gives away a bit too much).

Windows users can simply download and run the KaTrain.exe file attached, or download the .zip file and run the .exe in that (which is slightly faster)
Linux and MacOS users can install using pip install katrain or follow instructions here.
- Note that unfortunately there are currently no pre-compiled binaries for mac for the newer KataGo versions.

Enjoy!
