Version 2.28.0 of Freecell Solver
Release Notes: Several significant optimizations. Many other cleanups and tweaks to the internals. Makefiles have been added for many alternative compilers, and the code was adapted to compile on TenDRA. The "configure" script was renamed to "Tatzer", so it won't be used by end-users who are used to Autoconf conventions.
Other releases
Release Notes: Options have been added to help reduce the average solution length ("--flares-choice" and "--flares-iters-factor"). There are two new presets for doing that. This release adds a memory optimisation for flares-based presets.
Release Notes: This release adds a sixth Best-first-search weight of the negated number of cards not above their parents, implements "random-dfs" ordering based on this a-star weight, adds several new commandline themes ("-l as" for speed, and "-l mf" for short solutions), implements "DeBondt" state encoding for the dbm_fc_solvers, and implement a prune for Baker's Dozen and similar games. It drops support for compiling with Microsoft Visual C++ and other non-GCC-compatible compilers.
Release Notes: This release adds the --show-exceeded-limits flag for less ambiguous input. It has a fix for misbehaviour with using "-sp r:tf" in conjunction with "-opt". It adds the "three-eighty" preset. Some enhancements have been made to the so-called "dbm_fc_solver" and a new "fcc_fc_solver", based on Fully Connected Components. Support has been added for building and testing the distribution in an out-of-tree build.
Release Notes: This release fixes the "--max-iters" flag and the empty foundations in input. It adds an experimental delta states implementation and a corresponding dbm_solver. There are many small optimizations and cleanups.
Release Notes: Some crashes using --trim-max-stored-states were fixed. A more meaningful man page was added. scripts/parallel-range-solver-total has been added to solve a range of deals in parallel by splitting them into chunks. There are many smaller improvements and fixes.
