Hi Tim,
hi Jim,
thanks for the updated engine and the compiles.
I now have the problem, which engine we should test:
Octochess r4690 or
Octochess r4692 JA
... what are the differences?

I don't think they affect playing strength.
I would use Tim's builds as it is official release unless you have a legacy system that won't run his versions.
Tim's builds require minimum 64-bit Vista/Win7. My builds will run older systems too such as Win98/WinXP 32 bit.
The 64bit edition of Windows XP is supported as well by my builds, as are the 64bit x86 editions of Windows Server.
I think you're incorrect there Tim.
If your Windows builds are compiled with MSVC then they are using 'CONDITION VARIABLES' which are unsupported in WinXP and Server 2003.
I can confirm this as I have Win XP64 and your builds don't run.

Mea culpa, thanks for the correction. I didn't realize Windows XP doesn't even have such a basic function.
So indeed, I only support 64bit Windows starting with Vista in my builds.
Sorry for dredging this thread up. I can't run Tim's compile because I use XP 64-bit. And I can not find Jim's compile at his site. Where can I find the latest XP compatible version?
