2.0 xTreme
many search/eval parameters tuned
occasional crash (hopefully) fixed
code improvements, bitwise optimizations
SEE piece/capture values no longer constant entities
fire.cfg incorrect default value for Prune_Pawn fixed: Prune_pawn = 160
Fire now recognizes whether or not the system supports hardware popcount
and/or large pages, and self-configures itself accordingly
some code cleanup
more complete Log implementation
small ELO increase

Kranium himself (Norman Schmid) posted it on a site that I'm not sure I'm allowed to mention here.
