The author is claiming a 110/120 Elo increase over Chiron 4. While there are no independent tests yet, but using CCRL 40/15 as a benchmark, I figure that puts the new Chiron 5 in the RofChade 2.3 strength range and around -25 Elo behind Booot 6.5.

Chiron 5.01 released

Chiron 5.01 is a bugfix version: there was a silly bug in the main hash table initialization code that wouldn’t allow sizes larger than 2GB.
Thanks to Lars S. and Krzysztof G. for reporting and testing.
