This release is around 60 ELO stronger than Stockfish 6 in self play.
SMP algorithm has been changed from YBW to Lazy SMP.
Gary Linscott is now officially listed as a co-author.

The official binaries will be made available from http://stockfishchess.org/ shortly.

Meanwhile feel free to use binaries from http://abrok.eu/stockfish.

If you have Windows x64 Hashwell system, the following binaries built by Kiran Panditrao perform around 5% better compared to abrok's builds:

As a side note: Stockfish 7 beta2 is functionally fully identical to Stockfish 7.

Sorry, I can't understand your question. To download Stockfish 7, just go to http://abrok.eu/stockfish/ and download the latest version.

The binaries will likely also be available from the official website in a few hours...
What I meant was that I was following the Stockfish team's discussion about the final binaries, and I was wondering whose binary did they choose for the "modern" version, aka POPCNT.
The http://stockfishchess.org/ is now updated with SF7. POPCNT version seems same as Abrok.
The official compiles won't run under ChessGUI, yet the two beta versions did.
Oddly enough, the Stockfish 7 compiles from the Abrok site work fine.
Then please use compiles from abrok.eu for now. We'll investigate...

Seems that abrok.eu Stockfish versions were recompiled. We've updated binaries in stockfishchess.org accordingly.

Why Stockfish 7 binaries and source code is not available from the official site http://stockfishchess.org/ ?
