What's new

- There is now a scoreboard on the dashboard so that you can see the score more easily.

- an Isight trainer. What is Isight? It is a method of cube strategy in a running game, comparable to the well-known Keith Count. Why did I choose Isight? The killer feature is that Isight also works in match play!

- Now the matches are stored in the database *with* the analysis. I use a new technology that has many advantages, makes other things easier and is lightning fast. The disadvantage is that only the first instance has full access, everyone else can only read.

- some other minor improvements (e.g. when entering 1..6 when using manual dice, the dice selection is initialized and the first dice number is entered) and

- BGBlitz is now also available in Finnish

- a few bugs have been fixed

And one unplanned feature has made it into the new version:

TachiAI VI, a new AI. I had only planned it for 3.6, but it's about 0.2 PR stronger, which is a significant improvement on that level. What does that mean? In 20 5 point matches it plays

NET ply AVG Median

TA VI 3-ply 0,90 0,47

TA VI 4-ply 0,62 0,38

TA VI 5-ply 0,41 0,26

The first new superhuman BG AI in this decade that is available to everyone ;). It is selected by default.

As always, feedback is very welcome.

I have just started on the last missing feature for 3.4 and expect to release it in the summer.
