Thanks Tony, this one slipped through.
It was too late to edit, this is what I wanted to add:

(BTW it calls itself XXVII w/o dev anymore - it seems the download folder was used before for an older dev and remained unnamed,
therefor called 11052018?)

I also see he offers since yesterday a dev version of his new program called Burp, but the text for the download says
'not working'. I downloaded it nevertheless ;-)
Seems Burp was called previously Smilzo, did not check yet, if both really don't work. (compilations in debug and x86 folder)

Dimitri 4.90 released
(note that the link on the official website still points to the older 4.82 and also the date of change is wrong)

Crashes instantly here where vXXVI worked fine -- well, "fine" is using the word loosely as it doesn't work out-of-the-box under Cute Chess due to incorrect syntaxis of its feature command.

McCain X2b Release

A fairly significant MultiPV bug was introduced recently in SF. The SF Development team fixed it almost immediately when it was brought to our attention. Naturally , this update will have the latest patches committed since X2a Release as well.

The bug is discussed here:
https://github.com/official-stockfish/S ... ssues/2092

and here:
https://github.com/official-stockfish/S ... ssues/2091

X2b source:
https://github.com/MichaelB7/Stockfish/ ... X2b.tar.gz
https://github.com/MichaelB7/Stockfish/archive/X2b.zip

Exe's will be posted on Github when available - over the next 12 to 24 hours.

https://github.com/MichaelB7/Stockfish/releases/tag/X2b

Best regards,
Michael

Looks to be only the chess explorer interface (HCE) from what I can tell.
