Here are the release notes:
- Code: Select all
TRACE 1.35 - Aug 22 2005 RELEASE
- Removed experimental code that was meant to help hash table from 'log jamming'.
It ruined searches > 4 seconds by wrecking move ordering and reducing hash table
consistency. I guess you could say the experiment failed. :-)
- Changed input/output to buffered.
- EGTB: Limited to <= 5 man tables now... and TRACE.EXE shrinks from 680K to 300K. Ugh.
- Fixed 'analyze mode' problems under Arena with i/o lockups.
- Stopped 'analyze mode' re-searching when max ply depth exceeded (61 ply).
- WacNew on P3-600Mhz scores 299/300 @ 15 secs/pos
- bench 7 on P3-600Mhz: nodes=278130, secs=1.28, nps=216950
