Takkerus v0.3.0

Version 0.3.0 of Takkerus.

This version uses the new zero_sum version 1.2, which has seen some significant structural changes and performance improvements.

Takkerus v0.2.0

Version 0.2.0 of Takkerus.

This version brings significant structural changes that have been in the works for some time. Behaviorally, the program works the same, with the following exceptions:

• The default search is now a timed search with a goal of 60 seconds, instead of a depth of 5.
• The "minimax" AI type is now called "pvsearch".
• The first and second players are now specified with "--p1" and "--p2", instead of "-p1" and "-p2".

Internally, there have been some major changes; most notably the excision of the entire tak implementation and the principal variation search code, both of which now reside in the zero_sum crate.

The threading model of the game has been much improved, and so has the implementation of the PlayTak.com client. Additionally, the PlayTak.com client can now handle concurrent evaluation requests, even while in a game of its own.

Finally, Takkerus now requires Rust's nightly release channel to build.
