The release was pushed forward due to a defect in v2.5. If you tried to use Eubos on a multi-core system, by default it would run as multithreaded. I don't normally test this configuration, and as a result, I had missed that the refactor I did to remove dynamic allocation of Move Lists caused a crash when running with more than one search thread.
I have temporarily removed the capability to run configure or run multithreaded searches.
Apart from that, I have a couple of algorithmic improvements and optimisations:
- Material balance and piece square tables are now incrementally updated
- Lazy evaluation is employed in the opening and middlegame, though only beta refutations are checked at present
- The pseudo-legal move generation has been greatly optimised (yielding a 20% increase in speed!)
