[0.1.0] - 2026-02-17

Added

• First tagged release of the Zig-based Sykora UCI engine.
• Added the core engine stack: bitboards, magic move generation, legal move validation, perft/divide tooling, alpha-beta search, transposition tables, and clock-aware search control.
• Added a classical evaluation pipeline with pawn-structure, mobility, king-safety, and endgame terms.
• Added developer tooling for STS, self-play, benchmark/NPS runs, history tracking, automated tuning, and Lichess bot play/challenges.
• Added multi-target GitHub release automation for shipping binaries across Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Changed

• Improved move generation, hashing, undo support, null-move handling, repetition detection, and search heuristics throughout the initial development cycle.
• Expanded project documentation to cover engine usage, testing, tuning, and experiment history.
• Broadened build support for additional CPU architectures and optimized release build commands.

Fixed

• Fixed castling, en passant, capture handling, move legality edge cases, transposition-table scoring issues, and early search stability problems.
• Fixed cleanup and shutdown behavior around search threads, bot sessions, and Zig 0.16 compatibility.
