Jim Ablett has deleted Protector from his Website

[Paloma]

Just found out that Jim has deleted protector-140-rev402 from its Site.

Was searching for final release compilate protector 1.4.0

Hm, what does this mean?

Protector is still in his MediaFire account. I figure he's probably going to have a 1.4.0 compile soon, and will add it to his home page once the compile is finished.

No answer to my remark in another thread:

Curious, there seems to be a UCI bug in Protector.

In console mode, after typing
go depth 18 (... 18 is an example),
the engine does not stop after depth 18 is reached (all other UCI engines do).

Any explanation?

Not all UCI engines implement "depth".

Looking at the code in xboard.c for Protector 1.4.0, it seems that Protector treats a go depth command exactly the same as a go infinite command, putting the program into analysis mode. It doesn't appear to support the go depth command in the way one would expect.

Hi Herbert,

Raimund requested that I only compile the official releases from now on and
not the development versions as it was confusing a lot of users, also development
versions can have bugs of course. He would rather testers don't use them.
JA compile of official release 1.4.0 will be up on my site soon.

Jim.

Good idea, Jim.
Thanks !
