[0.2.1] - 2026-03-02

Added

  • First release with NNUE support in the shipped engine.
  • Added a full Texel tuning toolchain, including a native tuner, dataset builders, large-run orchestration scripts, and parameter application helpers.
  • Added gensfen, Lichess PGN extraction, and parallel self-play tooling for generating NNUE training data.
  • Added incremental NNUE accumulator support in search to make embedded NNUE practical during play.

Changed

  • Made embedded NNUE the default evaluator and shipped the first successful SYKNNUE2 network with updated training/export scripts.
  • Retuned the classical evaluator with Texel-generated parameters, updated mobility tables, and cleanup across evaluation utilities.
  • Expanded the README to describe engine features, tuning, and NNUE workflows in more operational detail.

Fixed

  • Fixed search history handling so the current position is tracked correctly for repetition logic.
  • Hardened dataset generation, Stockfish annotation retries, and cross-platform script behavior.
  • Tightened option handling and parameter extraction in evaluation/tuning utilities.
