Brutus v7Beta01 released

Hi there,


It has been quite for a long time around Brutus, but this doesn't mean nothing has happened! Now it is finally there: The release of Brutus v7.

New in version 7:

• Complete code rewrite! Started from scratch therefore ALL old bugs removes. (Probably did some rebugging too.... )
  
• Much cleaner code, compiles without warnings in MSVC.
  
• Replaced multithreading by multi-PROCESSING. Up to 4 processors the new searchtime will be roughly: time/num_processors. You can set the number of processors to be used in the .ini-file.
  
• Compatible with Nalimov EGTB (with kind permission of Eugene Nalimov and Andrew Kadatch).
  
• New format of .ini file, the hashtable can be set by the enduser enableling to set an alternative path for openingbook, Nalimov EGTB-path.
  
• Increased strength compared to Brutus v6.1.
  
• As usual the source is included: All Brutus-code (except the egtb-code!) is available under the GNU-license.
  

Please don't hasitate to contact me if something isn't working properly on your PC. Therefore it is a beta! Download v7Beta01 at http://home.casema.nl/vermeire/brutus.html.
