  • Multigather is now made the default (and also improved). Some search settings
    have changed meaning, so if you have modified values please discard them.
    Specifically, max-collision-events, max-collision-visits and
    max-out-of-order-evals-factor have changed default values, but other options
    also affect the search. Similarly, check that your gui is not caching the old
    values.
  • Performance improvements for the cuda/cudnn backends.
  • Support for policy focus during training.
  • Larger/stronger 15b default net for all packages except android, blas and dnnl
    that get a new 10b network.
  • The distributed binaries come with the mimalloc memory allocator for better
    performance when a large tree has to be destroyed (e.g. after an unexpected
    move).
  • The legacy time manager will use more time for the first move after a long
    book line.
  • The --preload command line flag will initialize the backend and load the
    network during startup.
  • A 'fen' command was added as a UCI extension to print the current position.
  • Experimental onednn backend for recent intel cpus and gpus.
