Kombilo download

stable version is 0.5i.

The current testing version is 0.5m.

A bug tracker with all known bugs and problems is available.

Testing: Version 0.5m

Version 0.5m is still called the testing version, but is actually pretty stable, as it seems. As always, the program comes WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY. Please make sure to have backup copies of important (SGF) files which you want to use with Kombilo.

Thanks to everybody who reported bugs/problems so far.

If you discover a new bug, please open a new issue in the bug tracker, or drop me a line; I will then (try to) fix it in the next version.

Windows

On Windows systems, you have two choices: either you download the installer below which includes everything you need to run Kombilo, or you install the Python interpreter separately (see the Python website), and then download the small zip file which contains the Kombilo program itself. Probably the installer is the easier solution. On the other hand, if you want to use Python for other things too, you have to install it separately. Note, though, that in order to use Kombilo you also need the Python Megawidgets package, and it would be useful to install the Python Imaging Library. These two packages are already included in the installer. See the Kombilo tutorial for details on the installation of these packages.

In any case, please read the Getting started section in the tutorial.

This is an installer with the complete Kombilo program (including the fast pattern search engine). All the installer does is copying the Kombilo files to your hard disk and optionally install a shortcut in the start menu or an icon on the desktop; no harmful modifications to any system files will be done. An uninstall applet is also included.

It comes under this license which essentially says that you may freely use and redistribute the package, but not modify it.

Technically speaking, this version consists of a small Python interpreter and the Kombilo files proper, all packaged into one exe file and several dll's. It was prepared with Thomas Heller's py2exe tool. The installer was created with InnoSetup by Jordan Russell.

Use this zip file if you have Python installed on your system. In that case, you probably also want to download the corresponding C extension file below which provides a much faster pattern search.

  • Binaries for fast pattern search: Download the file for the Python version that you use, put it in the kombilo directory, and unzip it. This is not needed if you downloaded the installer above.

Cext05m-21.zip (49KB), for Python 2.1
Cext05m-22.zip (49KB), for Python 2.2
Cext05m-23.zip (49KB), for Python 2.3

Linux/Other platforms

To run Kombilo, you need to have the Python programming language installed on your computer (version 2.1 or better). You can get it at the Python website. (See also the Tutorial.)

  • Download:

kombilo05m.tar.gz (458KB) for Linux, Unix
kombilo05m.zip (474KB) for other operating systems

  • Binaries:

In order to use the faster C++ search function, you need to either compile the corresponding function yourself (recommended, and very easy! See the instructions in the tutorial), or to download the appropriate binary file here.

Linux (for Intel compatible processors):
Download the file for the Python version which you use, put it in the kombilo directory, gunzip and untar it. (The files with gcc2.95 in the name were compiled with gcc 2.95.4, the other ones with version 3.3.3.)
Cext05m-2.1-gcc2.95.tar.gz (97KB), for Python 2.1

Cext05m-2.1.tar.gz (93KB), for Python 2.1
Cext05m-2.2.tar.gz (115KB), for python 2.2
Cext05m-2.3.tar.gz (117KB), for python 2.3

Stable: Version 0.5i

I have not got any bug reports for some time now, and fixed the very few (and not so serious) bugs I found myself, so I decided to declare version 0.5i the 'stable version'.
Sure enough, the usual disclaimer still applies: This program comes without any warranty. Make sure that you have backup copies of important (SGF) files.

Probably the installer is the easier solution. On the other hand, if you want to use Python for other things too, you have to install it separately. Of course, if Python is already installed on your system, you should just download the small kombilo.zip file below.

In any case, please read the Getting started section in the tutorial. In particular, Windows 95/98 users should read the note at the end of that section.
