A new version of Octochess has been released, you can download it from http://octochess.org/
This version introduces a new threading implementation to better utilize multiple CPU cores. In previous versions, using multiple cores resulted in little to no gain in strength. In this new version, there's now a measurable gain.
Various improvements have been made to the evaluation and the search code, this should further increase strength.
Last but not least, you can now run Octochess on a jailbroken Kindle Touch.
The changes in all their (in)comprehensible glory:
Add support for ARM architecture to run Octochess on Kindle Touch

A compiler is a program that takes a source written into one language and translates it into another language, usually machine language (the only language your computer really understand).
So, now you know: a compiler is a translator. Something that, as a writer, you certainly understand.
