The small variety, that is.
Changes:
Added null-move pruning and aspiration window.
Improved endgame evaluation (or, more precisely, it now has a separate
endgame evaluation). Same with king execution phase.
Now claims draw on insufficient material.
Slightly friendlier command line mode. (stress the "slightly" there)
Minor bugfixes (fen/epd parsing).
Null-moving seems to make a difference. Everything else is just for show. Still, should be the strongest potato around.
(Note that the weights value file has had its format changed)
Get it while it's small! (from the new teknocolour page below)
