Catalyst v3.0.0
Good afternoon everyone today I have pleasure to announce Catalyst v3.0.0
This update focuses on search and move ordering improvements, along with a rewritten datagen pipeline and improvements to move generation. No changes were made to the NNUE network in this release.

Main changes:

•Improved move ordering (better quiet scoring, SEE-based capture classification)
•Datagen rewrite
•Various bug fixes and refactoring]

Performance:
~+70 Elo vs v2.2.0 (self-play, 10+0.1)

Hi,

my ESET (NOD) detected a virus.

Could you check that?
I can create an exception, but it's better if that doesn't happen.

Best
Frank

PS: Same for your older two versions I checked.
