It's still private as far as I'm aware.

Did you stop testing Pro Deo 1.6 beta in your tournaments?
Is it because there is an enhanced version coming?
1.6 beta looked like a very serious improvement to me, with as only drawback the higher branching factor at long time controls.

i did not stop testing version 1.6... why do you ask ?

if you follow the links i gave, and scroll to the bottom of the pages,
you will see ProDeo tested in ALL tournaments on ALL machines.

therefore i guess you misunderstood something or you did not watch
the tables accurate enough.

My experience is that ProDeo 1.6 is better/equal on the FAST machines and weaker on the slower machines.
this sounds logical to be because reductions help to get deeper in the tree.
in opposite this would IMO weaken on slower hardware.

You are right of course. I had taken a quick look with a small screen device, and not seen that there was a whole world lower in the text, sorry.
Anyway, nice tournament. Pro Deo is on the right way now, i think. Fruit looks really awesome. Would love to hear later on what kind of improvements have been made.

Well private versions of Fruit have leaked onto piracy sites and it has come to my attention that new Toga versions are mocking Fruits improvements and stealing from me once again just like I have proven with emails in the past about the passed pawn in pv extension that Toga seems to have taken credit for. Because of this and the state of computer chess if Fruit is continued at all it is unlikely to ever be more than a private engine that never leaves my hard drive. I have no idea how the leak happened and blame myself for sending private information and beta versions to too many people. The ones that lose most here are the computer chess fans. I am sorry that it has come to this.

Sorry to hear that Ryan. It must be disappointing when somebody betrays the trust that you put in them.
