New engine releases & news 2021

[Gabor Szots]

Did the tests of 23.0 use the AVX2 executable? 23.0 had only AVX2 SIMD support. Any of the other executables (arasanx-64-popcnt for example) would not use SIMD instructions and would be significantly slower. 23.1 does not have this issue anymore.

Something seems wrong with this version. See forum3/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=78629.

Lynx v0.7.0 is out.

Some elo improvement is expected. Not huge, but hopefully noticeable
