Major additions

  • Continuous analysis or 'pondering' has been improved.
    • It will now no longer schedule queries with increasing visits, but just use a single never-ending query.
    • This also fixed a bug with the region of interest function
    • This will break compatibility with KataGo versions older than v1.7.0.
  • KataGo was upgraded to 1.10.0.
    • The linux executable now includes a self-compiled, statically linked libzip, which should reduce issues with versioning.
  • An AntiMirror AI option was added which uses KataGo's special mode for beating players who play mirror go.
  • Scrolling through variations now only works while the cursor is on the board, reducing conflict with browsing the move tree.
  • Middle clicking while scrolling through variations now adds it to the move tree.

Minor fixes and additions

  • The SGF 'compressed points list' functionality which allows you to place a square of stones is now supported
  • On MacOS, command should function as ctrl
  • The log file setting in the default config was removed, as it was broken
  • A bug was fixed where the contribute function could break if the last game included handicap stones.
  • The MacOS packages should now have correct versioning

Installation

  • Windows users can simply download and run the KaTrain.exe file attached, or download the KaTrainWindows.zip file and run the .exe in that (which is slightly faster to start up)
  • macOS users can use the attached KaTrainOSX.dmg (open, drag .app to applications). The first time you start the app, you will need to control-click the app in finder to allow installation. Note that on the newer Macs with M1 architecture, you still need to brew install katago, or compile katago yourself.
  • Linux and macOS users can install using pip3 install -U katrain

After installing the program for the first time, it is recommended to check general settings (F8) and download the latest katago models.
