(This is identical to v0.9 RC1, you don't need to re-download.)

Main changes:

  • #546 NNCache full history
    • More accurate results (important for low playouts i.e. self-play games).
    • NPS for match games will be lower due to this, but more steady.
  • #536 Disable tree reuse in training
    • More accurate application of Dirichlet noise to help discover new moves, for very small performance hit
    • NPS for client self-play will be much higher, but wall clock time to play a game slightly longer.
  • #529, #526 Fix resign code
  • #521 Fix --playouts
  • #518 increment tbhits on root probes
  • #516 faster loading of weights
  • #512 rename visits to nodes (--visits is deprecated, use --nodes or go nodes N) instead
