Update: Polyglot 1.4.33b
Michel Van den Bergh's Linux and Windows builds based on Fonzy Bluemers modification
of Fabien Letouzey's Polyglot with original work and bugfixes
- New option: "WbWorkArounds". Currently it blocks options which contain "Draw" in their name from being sent to the GUI.
(Engines that have such options are Rybka and HIARCS. )
- Bugfix for ASSERT failure in Bright. Now another ASSERT failure has appeared which seems to be Bright's fault however.
