I immediately noticed, but no problem, I use either one instance or another. Will report bugs only and refrain from commenting existing features, which could be understood as feat. suggestions. I promise.
Two small things:
1. When you edit a tournament and add a new engine, the games' order and rounds numbering changes. If you export a tournament PGN after you have added an engine, even though the games' order in the extracted PGN is correct, the round tags of the games keep the original value (that they had before the edit). I don't know how easy it would be to change, but I think it would be better if the round tag had the correct, updated value. I think this is the only tag that needs change.
2. In the crosstable, wouldn't it be better if the wld for engine pairs had the same style as the general W-L-D column (+1-2=3 instead of 1W-2L-3D)? I think it's more easily readable.

1) yes, the schedule is recomputed (for RR this implies what you see) plus all openings are offset - so after adding a new engine even replaying some old game will use different openings; sadly this cannot be fixed; I'd have to completely re-generate the tournament pgn. let's say this is the price to pay for advanced tour edits
so: already played games are there and are kept, but the round numbers won't fit anymore after advanced tour edit (i.e. adding/removing an engine)
EDIT: hmm... maybe I could reconstruct the round tag from the actual schedule when exporting final pgn if possible
2) absolutely, I prefer percentage so didn't even notice this, will look into it
build 91 is up:
- fix: eco lookup was classified 1 ply too late in some cases
- fix: setting UCI_Chess960 to true in engine option no longer breaks the engines in classical chess
- crosstable in WDL mode shows +W-L=D for consistency
- round tags should be fixed now in final tour pgn export after advanced tour edits
note that this time I was unable to do any magic random changes to avoid being tagged by "defender" ...
I'm not going to pay $400/year for a signing certificate - used to do this in the past, got scammed by a certain US company who
kept billing for something that I canceled - and only stopped when I threatened to sue them
I have a really bad experience and I'm not going to repeat it...

Thanks! There is an issue with the round tags change though. In the exported PGN, in the games that have been corrected, at the very end of the moves list, instead of the termination (e.g. {draw by three-fold repetition}), there is a repeat of the last move's eval/depth/time info.
