This is another minor update, improving on some issues found in 1.7.1, and including better support for downloading models.
I've also managed to create a packaged release for OSX, thanks to kivy developer @matham. This package includes a pre-compiled katago executable and should be all you need to run KaTrain on OSX. So far this has been tested on OSX 10.14.
Features:
- You can now download the confidently strongest distributed model from general settings.
- You can now press shift-b to navigate from a deep variation back to the main branch, thanks to @LiamHz
Bug fixes
- Better stabiility for model downloads.
- Queries should be properly cleared on new game, preventing an incorrect 'forever busy' engine status.
- Fix for initial player detection using PL[]
New Theme & New YouTube Tutorial
- See here for the first theme added.
- See here for a new YouTube video on using the 'insert moves' feature to improve your ability to review games in situations when both players ignore an urgent move for a long time.
Installation
- 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 to start up)
- MacOS users can use the attached KaTrainOSX.zip (unzip, mount .dmg, drag .app to applications)
- Note that on the newer Macs with M1 processor you still need to
brew install katago

- Linux and MacOS users can install using
