Polaris 1.4.0

[Ciekce]

To avoid spamming the new releases thread while Polaris is under very active development, I decided to start a separate one :)

1.4.0 has been released - the primary improvements over 1.3.0 are history for quiets and a fix for the longstanding bug where Polaris ignores pawns when determining if a position is likely to be a draw. Chess960 is also now supported :D

Thanks! I didn't get to test chess960 quite as much as I would've liked, so if any issues pop up please do let me know :)

It crashes a lot.
Here's the PGN: https://www.mediafire.com/file/v6s5d9j5 ... i.pgn/file

I'm slightly lost, the PGN only contains Polaris making one illegal move (thanks for the catch! looking into that), but no crash

I think the GUI crashes. I use Cutechess in testing. This is my first time experiencing crash in testing 960.

I've found an issue with (predictably) chess960 castling, and I'll release 1.4.1 once that's resolved

at a pure guess, the cutechess crashes could be due to Polaris making illegal moves? I've never known it to crash before, although I only very rarely use the GUI.

I'll do a rerun test . Also, I forgot to tell you that it does install on Banskia GUI but I when I started to create a tournament in chess960, the engine parameters and the whole engine gone immediately.

as in, polaris just immediately dies? that's genuinely bizarre if so, I cannot reproduce that at all

testing with banksia and cutechess' gui on my end works perfectly fine (other than the bugged chess960 support ), so I'm not sure how to proceed
