I see no Vitruvius there

[Graham Banks]

I see no Vitruvius there

I think he's using Bouquet instead this time.

That's right, he has not worked on Vitruvius since Season 1. So Bouquet is representing the "ipp" family.

A great field, and a great event. Look forward to catching some of the games.

Wasn't Stockfish 4 released because only official version can participate?

If so I like to see a few releases tomorrow

That's not correct, any version can participate (you see a few development versions in the list), however they are not allowed to be upgraded after the Season has started - unlike Season 1, where engines could be upgraded between Stages.

So Stockfish could have participated without making a release, right?

Pitty, I like my interpretation more as I would have a lot of engines to test ;-)

Anyhow, good luck and have fun with nTCEC

I like seeing all of the developmental versions in the lineup. That shows there is plenty of interest among the authors.
