<p><strong><span style="color:#090;">Update: Cutechess-cli 0.1.6</span></strong><br />
- Complete games are not played from opening books. It's still a good idea to limit book depth with the -bookdepth option if you use a really deep book (or PGN file as a book).<br />
- If an engine becomes unresponsive (doesn't reply to the &quot;ping&quot; or &quot;isready&quot; command), it's terminated.<br />
- If an engine doesn't quit after the &quot;quit&quot; command, it's terminated forcefully.<br />
- Fix a serious race condition on Windows. If you've gotten &quot;engine failed to respond to ping&quot; warnings, timeouts, etc. it was likely because of this bug. <br />
