Polyglot 1.4w27
Fonzy Bluemers modification of Polyglot
- as winboard sends the info strings to fics/ics as well and this can
cause unwanted side-effects, polyglot does not send them to winboard
unless InfoStrings is set true
- new MultiPVall bool. If set true will show the multipv lines from
previous depths too. Otherwise it will only show the pv lines from the
current depth
