chess4j 3.4 is officially released. The main changes in this release are the hashing related changes that I discussed some time back in this post. Other than that, there are many smaller changes, many of which I’m sure I’ve lost track of, but some that come to mind are: converting to Java8 syntax, incorporating Scala in testing, and improved Winboard compatibility.

Also, the source code has been moved from SourceForge to Github. The new project website is https://github.com/jswaff/chess4j.

The next major area of work will be to parallelize the search, but I anticipate another minor release before that work begins.
