0.5 has a few tweaks, and brings back lazy smp.

0.6 has a factor 9 speed improvement (on microcontrollers)

I don't mind

I'll add a picture of the dog to the website that triggered the development.

In case you want to test it: when it runs on linux/windows, its strength is somewhere between micah and embla (from my own tests). It always uses 2 threads (and pondering), can't control that. Hash-table is locked at 256MB (64kB on ESP32).

v0.7 brings status visible via LEDs (on a micro-controller), performance tweaks (all platforms) and configurable number of threads (1 or 2 just not always 2)

My test shows an elo of around 2169 but real testing may show something different.

Thread-count is now configurable Graham.

With version 0.8, pondering can be switched off. Also bugs were fixed, tweaks were made and an Android version was produced.

Dog now also plays on lichess.org: https://lichess.org/@/MaxtheDog

It plays on a raspberry pi 2 here.

I've put version 0.9 on my website.

This one is at least 15 elo stronger than v0.8.
