logo de Patrick Buchmann, merci Patrick ! Changelog
22/08/2008 : Cyrano 0.6 beta 17. win 32 bits + linux 32 bits (compiled on ubuntu 8.04, need pthreads)
This is a beta !
19/06/2008 : Cyrano 0.5 released. (21/06/2008 JA's package, thank Jim !)
03/05/2008 : Cyrano 0.4 released (there is a new book too).
01/02/2008 : Cyrano 0.3 can use Scoripio bitbases but they are disabled by default, this needs more work to be usable (in a game).
24/12/2007 : Dietmar Quast found a bug on queen promotion when in check. Cyrano was not generating this move, this is annoying for the analysis but the move was not accepted when sent from the GUI.
22/12/2007 : Graham Banks found a bug in the time control (40/40 time control for example), Cyrano could loose on time on the last move to play. I've added a 200ms security margin.
07/12/2007 : time control bug corrected, Cyrano should play better too.
04/12/2007 : there is another bug in the time control in uci mode, Cyrano is not using the time increment.
