Chess Graphical User Interface: Banksia 0.49 (Windows, Mac and Linux)


BanksiaGUI is a freeware chess Graphical User Interface.

Changes v 0.49:
Fixed bugs:
Changing overall-ponder mode, engines’ names didn’t affect immediately (but after reloading BSG)
Lichess bots were stopped after a few games because of incorrect concurrency
Wheel scroll was too fast/sensitive
Analysis may crash in some systems
Some minor bug fixes, some small improvements/adjustments; ECA is temporarily turned off
New features:
Analysis on the fly: the Analysis button on the toolbar is changed to run that function thus now the user can quickly and conveniently to analyse any position he wants just by a click. If he wants to analyse whole games and/or change engines, he may use functions from Analyse menu
Detect and display corrupted games on tournaments
Image viewer: there are some panels to show images. They can show and play animated GIFs too
Graph for tbhits 
Notes:
Detect and display corrupted games in tournaments: it checks data loaded from files, performs when loading tournaments. Since those (corrupted) games have been played already, the corrupted ones don’t affect to tournament results, scores, Elo of engines. Users may ignore or replay those games. However, users should take an eye on those tournaments, especially for huge tournaments since it may be a sign of serious corrupted data. They may verify and check backup files. BSG auto creates multi backup files in the sub-folder tourbk (in the configuration folder)
Image viewer: This feature is totally for decoration and maybe helpful when users get bored with normal chess screens and/or for streaming. It’s much better than use other programs to show images over BSG since they may take more space, be messy and hide some information. If users still want a kind of pop up images, just set some panels to be floating
ECA is temporarily turned off since we need more time to invest on it, make it be safer and more convenient to use
