Which advantage would it have with 64bit ?
My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

I have not personally tried it, maybe for letting 64bit engines to play. By the way 64bit support is given for GNU/Linux and OS X.

cutechess-cli merely sends/receives commands to/from engines.
The only thing that should matter is whether the OS can run the 32bit cutechess-cli.
I know that Windows64 permits 32bit processes to run 64bit processes.
ChessGUI is 32bit and converses just fine with 64bit engines.
My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

There is practically nothing changed. No idea why it was bumped to 0.70?
Just command line flags naming was changed for consistence and support
for a newer QT version than before.

There is this fix which I think is important.
Fix SEGFAUL or SEGILL when an engine process is stopped and deleted

I saw this too but I wasn't sure if this really was the bug in 0.60 which made the windows version unusable and I found no further comment about it?
I guess they would have announced it, if they finally fixed a bug which made it unusable for years, no?

Yet it would be good if I could support the program.
