1) Bugs fixed: almost all known bugs so far, including (serious ones):
- Crashed when creating a database and/or open games from databases in some systems
- Could not parse some PGN games
- Ruled O-O+ and O-O-O+ as illegal moves
- Did not swap multi-timers when changing engines’ sides in tournaments
2) Some small improvements/adjustments
3) New features:
- Open PGN games from URLs
- Analyze games using multi engines (just select multi engines as bellow illustration)

I'm going to review Banksia on my website, so that'll get him a ton of new users, but still...
This GUI is going to the the dominant one for computer chess by end of 2020, I have no doubts.
Love it.

Really impressive work.

What if he wants to pause that tournament and run a quick Stockfish gauntlet...he can't.

Have to finish the big swiss first.
Therefore, it'd be great to be able to save an ongoing tournament to a "current tournament.bkst" file or whatever and resume whenever you like, regardless of how many tournaments have run in between.
