These are the major user-visible changes in 2.0:

  • Pattern search is now available, similar to Kombilo. Use the settings dialog to create a suitable database. Unfortunately existing Kombilo databases can't be used for this because of 32/64 bit compatibility issues.
  • Database load times are reduced, and threading was added so that the user interface remains responsive.
  • Multiple online games can now be observed in a single window with clickable previews to switch between them. The old mode of one game per window is still available.
  • There is a new "Tip of the day" dialog on startup, which displays features that are maybe not easily discoverable. It can be disabled.
  • There are several new high resolution wood textures for the board to choose from.
  • When playing engines that are capable of analysis, the evaluation is now collected during the game and can be displayed live.
  • Engine configuration now allows engines to be unrestricted in board size and komi, catching up with improvements in KataGo over Leela Zero.
  • Some GTP bugs were fixed, which may improve compatibility with certain engines.
  • Window titles can now be overriden in the settings, which should help with streaming setups.
  • Performance improvements for the screen updates should now make it feasible to turn off quiet mode when online, which allows the server to send live player and game updates.
  • There is a new option to highlight the user's own chat messages in a different color.
