Roland Chastain have you even tested Booot 3.4.

Sorry, I didn't see your message before. Yes, I tested it (with CuteChess Cli), and didn't have any problem.

Some words about Linux version: this task seems much more difficult then i expected. The good news are: the new version of Delph...

Hello! Congratulations for the new release.

By the way, could someone explain to me the difference between stash-xxx-64 and stash-xxx-86_64?

Hello! Alouette 0.1.2 is available.

I change all the identifiers to english names, and removed things in evaluation procedure.

Compilation successful. Thank you!

For this you can use the tools/build.sh script given to ensure optimization by profiling is done. Thank you for your answer.
