Improvements in this bugfix release:

  • Fixed pondering mode in uci module. For example ponderhit() was blocking
    indefinitely. Thanks to Valeriy Huz for reporting this.
  • Patch by Richard C. Gerkin: Moved searchmoves to the end of the UCI go
    command, where it will not cause other command parameters to be ignored.
  • Added missing check or checkmate suffix to castling SANs, e.g. O-O-O#.
  • Fixed off-by-one error in polyglot opening book binary search. This would
    not have caused problems for real opening books.
  • Fixed Python 3 support for reverse polyglot opening book iteration.
  • Bestmoves may be literally (none) in UCI protocol, for example in
    checkmate positions. Fix parser and return None as the bestmove in this
    case.
  • Fixed spelling of repetition (was repitition).
    can_claim_threefold_repetition() and is_fivefold_repetition() are the
    affected method names. Aliases are there for now, but will be removed in the
    next release. Thanks to Jimmy Patrick for reporting this.
  • Added SquareSet.__reversed__().
  • Use containerized tests on Travis CI, test against Stockfish 6, improved
    test coverage amd various minor clean-ups.
