v0.24.1

• Fix issues where logitq was being passed as drawscore and logitq wasn't passed to some GetQ calls. Causing major performance issues when either setting was non-default.

v0.24.0

• New parameter --max-out-of-order-evals-factor replaces --max-out-of-order-evals that was introduced in v0.24.0-rc3 and provides the factor to multiply the maximum batch size to set maximum number out-of-order evals per batch. The default value of 1.0 keeps the behavior of previous releases.
• Bug fix for hangs with very early stop command from non-conforming uci hosts.

v0.24.0-rc3

• New parameter --max-out-of-order-evals to set maximum number out-of-order evals per batch (was equal to the batch size before).
• It's now possible to embed networks into the binary. It allows easier builds of .apk for Android.
• New parameter --smart-pruning-minimum-batches to only allow smart pruning to stop after at least k batches, preventing instamoves on slow backends.

v0.24.0-rc2

• All releases are now bundled with network id591226 (and the file date is old enough so it has a lower priority than networks that you already may have in your directory).
• Added a 'backendbench' mode to benchmark NN evaluation performance without search.
• Android builds are added to the official releases.

v0.24.0-rc1

• Introduced DirectX12 backend.
• Optimized Cpuct/FPU parameters are now default.
• There is now a separate set of CPuct parameters for the root node.
• Support of running selfplay games from an opening book.
• It's possible to adjust draw score from 0 to something else.
• There is a new --max-concurrent-seachers parameter (default is 1) which helps with thread congestion at the beginning of the search.
• Cache fullness is not reported in UCI info line by default anymore.
• Removed libproto dependency.

v0.23.3

Single bugfix release that should reduce the frequency of incorrect instamoves when the search tree becomes large in a prior move.

v0.23.2

• Fixed a bug where odd length openings had reversed training data results in
  selfplay.
• Fixed a bug where zero length training games could be generated due to
  discard pile containing positions that were already considered end of game.
• Add cudnn-auto backend.

v0.23.1

• Fixed a bug with Lc0 crashing sometimes during match phase of training game generation.
• Release packages now include CUDNN version without DLLs bundled.

v0.23.0

• Fixed the order of BLAS options so that Eigen is lower priority, to match assumption in check_opencl patch introduced in v0.23.0-rc2.

(no other changes since rc2)

v0.23.0-rc2

• Fixes in nps and time reporting during search.
• Introduced DNNL BLAS build for modern CPUs in addition to OpenBLAS.
• Build fixes on MacOS without OpenCL.
• Fixed smart pruning and KLDGain trying to stop search in go infinite mode.
• OpenCL package now has check_opencl tool to find computation behaves sanely.
• Fixed a bug in interoperation of shortsighteness and certainty propagation.
