This release updates KataGo to the latest version, and includes a stronger 18b network by default.
Current training is on the newer 28b model, and if your GPU supports it, downloading the strongest 28b network through the "general settings" panel is recommended.
Fixes and improvements
- Updated KataGo and the 18b network
- @xiaoyifang added a feature to show move numbers (press "m") and a fix for moving through variations
- @rooklift updated performance report to show higher precision
- Pass numAnalysisThreads through the config file rather than command line
- Fixed Ubuntu sound issues
- @lykahb updated code to using poetry for dependencies
- Fixed a bug where certain conditions would lead to errors from broken collapsed subtrees in the navigation panel.
Note that although KataGo 1.15 supports various new features for human-like play, this version of KaTrain does not make us of them.
Installation
- Windows users can simply download and run the KaTrain.exe file attached, or download the KaTrain.zip file and run the .exe in that (which is slightly faster to start up)
- The MacOS standalone app is currently not working.
- Linux and macOS users can install using pip3 install -U katrain
- Note that the minimum required Python version has been updated to 3.9, as it is the lowest supported version soon.
