KGS Status
    Keywords: Online Go, Clubs & Places, Software

This page is where wms gives info on the status of the next KGS release. It's kind of a companion page to the KGS Wishlist; the wish list is where KGS users say what they would like me to do, this is where I say what I want me to do. For slightly more long term plans, see KGS Plans. As soon as a release is out, I'll cut out its status from here, but you can see past release status at [ext] the KGS change log.

For information on whether the KGS server is down, see KGS server status.


Changes since 2.6.5

I'm still working pretty hard on things other than new client features. 2.6.5 went out on Sept. 20. I hope that near the end of October I'll be done with the other stuff and be able to get back to work on client features. Meanwhile, since 2.6.5 went out, some fixes:

  • Found a rating system problem. Fixed it. This will make ranks more accurate. (This fix is not related to the change in 2.6.5 - in fact, the change in 2.6.5 happened because the handicap game data indicated that the ranks were off significantly in the kyu region; I tweaked a constant to adjust. Now it seems that the problem wasn't the constant, it was a mistake in my algorithm! Oops! So in 2.6.6 I'll put the constant to the proper place and fix the algorithm. This will cause quite a bit of rank shift.)
    • I applied this fix on September 28 when also applying another more urgent fix. I will let it go probably about a month, then examine the handicap results to see how it does.
    • amadis: (Here is a translation of a note by glue from [ext] the French KGS Status page .) Sept. 30, 2004 - new change. The old code, which was correct, has been restored, but the constant k has been modified. It now varies according to the ranks of the players. The effects of this change will be revisited in a few weeks.
  • Fixed the problem that makes it impossible to change "whose move" in demo games.
