Freecell Solver 3.8.0 was Released

Freecell Solver version 3.8.0 has been released. It is available in the form of a source tarball from the download page.

This release fixes some crashes using --trim-max-stored-states, adds a more meaningful man page instead of the token one that was previously present, adds scripts/parallel-range-solver-total to solve a range of deals in parallel by splitting them into chunks, and many smaller improvements and fixes.

We also forgot to mention the 3.6.0 release, which fixed the installation of fcs_dllexport.h, added the --tracemem compile time option, added a bug fix for incrementally increasing the iterations/stored-states limits, added a built-in version of kazlib's balanced binary search tree as a possible back-end for storage, and had some other improvements.

Enjoy!

    1. Hi Harish,

      please see my comment below - sorry for not replying directly at first.

  2. Harish: all the games in the range 1-32,000 can be solved, except for 11,982. For more information see the wikipedia and the Freecell FAQ.

    Freecell Solver can provide solutions for the deals you have not been able to solve. You should try it with a flag such as "-l eo" (which is a preset that usually yields short solutions.)
