Re: [computer-go] GTP and Tourney in SmartGo 1.4

[David Fotland <fotland@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My biggest issue is stability of the protocol.  I release a new version 
every 18 months
or so, and I don't want to have to issue a patch because GTP changed in a 
way that was not backward
compatible.  I'd like to see a year or so go by with no changes to the 
protocol.
