Update 1.2 OGS Bug Fix
Another minor update. Changes: Fixed more ranking issues with OGS due to changes in their system.
Go is a 3000-year-old game of strategy played by over 24 million people world-wide. Play is simple, place stones at key positions to surround territory and capture enemies. The rules can be learned in minutes, but Go has yet to be completely mastered. Ancient Go is designed for new players.

A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Pretty big update in preparation for full release next week. A bunch of it is still rough around the edges but I am very interested in what people think, if there are bug etc. Still more to do to polish and layout the new menu system. The online game menus and in game menus still need to be integrated but it is coming. I really want to put the best foot forward in case any new player come in this week while AlphaGo plays. Changes: Updated menu system Visual warning for any of your stones in atari (can toggle in options) First time you load the game, some professional game records are replayed

Changes: Advanced Options Menu Check Box to Enable Dead Stone Removal Phase for AI Games Check Box for 'Hint' Stones Dropdown for Default Scoring Rules Score Shows Correctly for OGS Games (Only Fully Enclosed Territory Counted) Restrict by Rank Difference for OGS Games Fixed Steam Invite Bug Improved OGS Challenge Logic There are lots of other background changes in this update, combined they allowed for the most requested feature to be included, the dead stone phase in AI games. At the moment all dead stones must be manually marked, and territory attached to those stones must be manually set.

Got up to speed with some more background OGS changes that happened today. Also there is a bunch of the code related to OGS which I was working on going live that should fix a bunch of edge cases problems. Lucky it doesn't seem like people have had any issues as nobody has mentioned them but they were little time-bombs. The most noticeable change will be that games vs the computer AI now have an undo option. This will revert the game to let you take your last move over.

Ancient Go should now be compatible with the new version of OGS, fixing online play. The only noticeable change is that the authentication process. OGS removed the application specific authentication code so from now on logging in will use your regular OGS username and password. Ancient Go does not store your password, but you wont have to log in every time as OGS is able to use the authorization for a good period. It might be a good idea to play unranked, shorter games for a while just in case there are any issues I missed. In my testing everything is functional but there might still be edge
