New SF dev without version date

Post by Paloma »

Since November 7th SF dev shows only 'Stockfish' in the engine window :shock: . Without version date as before.

Author disservin: For development versions of Stockfish the version now looks like this
dev-20221107-dca9a0533 which indicates a development version, the date of the last commit, and the Git SHA of this commit.


Is the name now too long to be displayed correctly in the eng window?

Is there a trick to display the date like before?

This change is not user friendly.

If "dev-20221107-..." is not displayed, that is probably the fault of your GUI.

Surprisingly my Fritz version (from 2012 :) ) has no problem at all:
