Freecell Solver 4.4.0 was Released

Freecell Solver version 4.4.0, has been released. It is available in the form of a source archive, from the download page. Freecell Solver is an open source library and some command line applications, for automatically solving several variants of card Solitaire / Patience games, including Freecell.

This release is dedicated to the memory of Christina Grimmie ( Wikipedia Page ; YouTube account ), a musician and singer whom I was fond of and who was killed on 10 June 2016. The name of the new scan “one-big-family” was inspired by the name of this video of hers. Some others of my favourite videos by Grimmie:

• Cover of “I Will Always Love You”

• Feelin’ Good

• Cover of “Stay” by Rihanna

• Singing “Some Nights” on The Voice

The new release features the new scan, fixes several bugs, and incorporates many code cleanups, refactorings and optimisations. More information can be found in the NEWS.txt / NEWS.html. It also adds the transpose-freecell-board.py program (thanks to Manish for the idea) and removes some old board generation programs that are no longer relevant.

Freecell Solver 4.2.0 was Released

Freecell Solver version 4.2.0, has been released. It is available in the form of a source archive, from the download page. Freecell Solver is an open source library and some command line applications, for automatically solving several variants of card Solitaire / Patience games, including Freecell.

This release sports the new configuration theme “-l conspiracy-theory” (or “-l ct”) which is somewhat faster than the best contender up to it, “-l amateur-star”, some relatively minor bug fixes, new compile-time options, and many small and somewhat larger code cleanups, refactorings, and optimisations.

“conspiracy-theory” is a reference to the Jewish holiday of Purim, which took place around the time of its release and an old post of mine about it.

Enjoy!
