Improve your Baduk skills by training with KataGo!
This version is mainly a move to using a stronger default network. Upgrading is not needed if you are already using this network, but the release should make it easier to get started for new users.
Thanks to recent advances, the latest 18b networks with improved architecture are clearly better at basically any settings compared to the old 20/30/40/60b options. Furthermore, it is small enough to include in the release. The previous default 15b network remains available to download from within general settings, for those with very low resource machines. As a general rule, you should only use this if you experience crashes with the new default network.
This is another small release, but it still recommended, as it includes a new KataGo version (1.13.x) with some interesting new features and bug fixes, including yet another new type of network.
It also fixes a small bug in the NGF file format.
