Changes to 5.0.9:

-Providing Linux binaries
-Changed time management, supporting mps control.
-Removed a little bug in _parse_fen() that stroke through when using gcc without optimization
-Now hash is identical for 64bit and 32bit.

You should seriously think about adjustable hash table scheme for the next release. Otherwise poor guys like me will never be able to test it.

Hi Oliver,

Thanks for the update.

I compiled some Intel builds here >

http://www.zshare.net/download/92185189377fad/

There were a few problems compiling for Windows with Intel/Msvc.
Olithink doesn't exit cleanly with exit(0) and crashes. I fixed this by
replacing exit(0) with ExitProcess(0).
Works ok that way, but it's still ending too ubruptly as I'm unable to gather any profile data to compile a p.g.o build.
Also your win32 build fails to make any moves at all on my 32 bit XP system. I fixed this also.
Fixed src is included with my download.

regards,
Jim.

Code: Select all

#ifdef _MSC_VER
        if (!strncmp(buf,"quit",4)) ExitProcess(0);
        #else
        if (!strncmp(buf,"quit",4)) Exit(0);
        #endif

Works ok that way, but it's still ending too ubruptly as I'm unable to gather any profile data to compile a p.g.o build.

To the rescue again. Thanks, Jim. It wasnt much fun just watching it sit there and never move- the logo is great!

Best,

That's quite strange. The win32 executable works very well with me. Does anyone else have these problems?
