I am considering releasing a new version of movei

There is no big improvement and I changed nothing in the search rules or the evaluation but there are some changes:
1)Latest movei does not spam the computer of the user by logfile that is increased by few kbytes after every game because the default option is logfile off and the user need to change it to 1 in order to get a logfile.
2)It is also slightly faster(about 2% faster) in some test positions because of some small improvements of using an array that I do not need less often because I can get the same information faster without an array and hopefully removing the array may lead to another small speed improvement.
3)The logfile (if the user asks for it by changing the ini file) gives more information and gives also the pv of movei at every depth.
I plan also to add to the logfile the winboard commands that movei gets.
If there is an interest I am going to release it in one of the next days.

I think every improvement is worthwhile.

Since I plan to include Movei in KOT2, a release within the next couple of days would be appreciated. Though the changes probably won't alter performance significantly, I'm a big fan of good logfiles .
