New learning features

There’s a new release available of all versions. It primarily fixes a number of bugs and introduces new abilities for a network to learn patterns.

Several threading bugs got fixed and also a long outstanding neuron leak, which was indirectly also caused by a threading synchronization problem.  Furthermore, several memory usage and small speed improvements have been done. More to come…

The new pattern-learning ability is just the start of the algorithm. For the time being, it’s a very simple recorder which requires an exact, word for word pattern match and will produce the exact same output as originally recorded. This is of course far to simplistic, so the ability to recognize sub-patterns and the likes will most likely be introduced over time.
