Is SF 1.8x now bug free, with maximum beautiful code?
If so, why don't you release it?

falling asleep greetings ...
Code could be nice...but we need some real ELO increase before to release :-(

...and it seems harder and harder to get...
Implementing Gaviota TBs seems like an easy way to get a few elo....

I might try it. Beware I am hardly a C++ programmer.... :D

(Scala, Python, and Java)

I suggest to start from this:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/n1w1c1vi9 ... SF_GTB.rar

Is a version of SF, around 1.7.1, with preliminary EGBT support. It should work already, but our experiments didn't show any ELO increase.

Have fun :-)

I'll give it a go. This will be interesting.... :)

Scala is a good starting point for an open source cross platform GUI. :wink:

Actually, I'm writing such a GUI in Java and some Scala based on the NetBeans Platform. :)
