LizGoban 0.3.1

Fix bugs in 0.3.0. (store_as_exercise in Windows, open_url for HTTP, etc.)

LizGoban 0.3.0

To use it on 64bit Windows immediately

Just download the all-in-one package (LizGoban-*_win_*.zip), extract it, and double-click LizGoban *.exe. You do not need installation, configuration, additional downloads, and so on. Its file size is due to the built-in engines:

• Leela Zero 0.17 (CPU-only) + 15 blocks network (a4b58a91) on 2019-11-10
• KataGo 1.2 (OpenCL) + 10 blocks network (s4588) on 2019-12-20

You can switch them by [Preset] menu in LizGoban. The first run of KataGo may take a long time (1 hour or more, for example) for its initial tuning.

To customize it on 64bit Windows (Leela Zero with GPU, KataGo in Japanese rule, ...)

1. Prepare engines (Leela Zero and/or KataGo) by yourself, if necessary.
2. Download and extract the same all-in-one package as above.
3. Copy sample/config.json to the same folder as LizGoban *.exe and edit it. See README.html for its format.

Note that the built-in KataGo is the official binary. You may need to get another unofficial binary (from Lizzie etc.) to use Japanese rule.

To use it on other platforms (Mac, Linux, ...) or Windows with more flexible configuration

Download the source code and see README.md.
