First of all, I have moved small potato to sourceforge, so now the official homepage is http://smallpotato.sourceforge.net
Also, i just released small potato 0.5.0 (aka "potato vake" release)
Changes:
Switched default search algorithm to negascout (it has made the search much "smoother". You can see the depth increase bit by bit, instead of in jumps and stalls like MTD(f))
Now recover a PV line for display (this has made analyse useful, and i wish someone had forced me to implement it earlier. It makes it so much more enjoyable to watch it play)
Minor transposition table tweaking
Minor bugfixes introduced in 0.4.0 (nothing very important really)
Now compiles out-of-the-box in clig-less systems. (no more Makefile tweaking)
This release seems to be slightly stronger than previous versions. I'm not sure exactly why.
