Most of the code is already in place. Things to consider:
a) move filter - i.e. which positions to roll out
b) using GNURoller for plays and cubes in rollouts
c) efficiency of the current mt code for fast games in roll outs - we
lock all threads during accounting
d) variance reduction - my limited
At least in the MT version it should be fairly straight forward to
pause the threads after the current game(s) are done.

I can provide a place for the download until the ftp on gnubg.org gets sorted.

There is one other serious error that arose while you were gone. There is a

I got multiple exes from 20090817, with following flavors (any combo):

- windows threads / gnu threads / no threads
- -O2 / -O3 option

Correct, they are non fatal, and works the same as the previous July windows
builds. I would prefer to see it built as is for now, and worry about
The warnings in the cl version are non-fatal, so they shouldn't hold
back a new build, right?

I have had numerous inquiries as to when the Pruning/Optimization bug will
be fixed. It's the primary driving force to see if Max can get a release
done for us (I'd love to test a build if he has one done, even if it is the
GUI).

The best and easiest solution is to make a gui.rc for the gui settings.

One strange thing I've found (or that I've never noticed). If you do an "help

Hi,
Sometimes while doing a rollout I would (temporary) like to give CPU priority
to other tasks. Switching to task manager (I am on XP) and lowering the base
priority is a bit cumbersome and sometimes there are more instances of gnubg
running so it is difficult to choose the right one in the
I've got a feeling that these warnings were hidden in older versions, probably
something to do with changes to how messages are shown.
If you save the settings from a command line build you loose all the gui
settings... This area needs a bit of an overhaul I think, the whole needing to
