This is a small release, but it still recommended, as it includes a new KataGo version with some interesting new features, including a new type of network.

Changes

  • Included KataGo 1.12.1 -> 1.12.2 -> 1.12.3
    • This includes a new 18b network that is between old 40b and 60b strength, read more about it here.
    • Note that the versions being equal is more a coincidence, KaTrain 1.12 does not include KataGo 1.12.
  • Ownership visualization changes and fixes
    • Fixed some ownership visualization bugs in teaching mode
    • Extended theming options for ownership
    • Slight changes to make the default theme simpler

Installation

  • Windows users can simply download and run the KaTrain.exe file attached, or download the KaTrain.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.

Patches

  • 1.12.2: replaced katago versions as the earlier release was buggy and blocked from contributing
  • 1.12.3: another katago update
