Dear Ed,

Thank you for the update. It is very good to see Rebel 16.3a, Rebel EAS 3.0a and Rebel Extreme 1.1a, together with the guest engines. Strong Malt 2.0 also looks like a very interesting addition.

I appreciate the time and work behind these releases.

Hi, guys. I wonder, what's the difference between 16.3a and 16.5? Different networks?
Executables for both 16.5 and 16.3 are or similar size (about 135m), but 16.3a twice as small (67m).

From what I understand 16.3a is faster than 16.3 (so should be slightly stronger) and 16.5 also about 10 Elo stronger?

Appreciate your answers.
