New engine releases 2019

[Guenther]

Has Neurone 11052018 Dev (aka Neurone XXVII dev) been mentioned anywhere outside of the GSEI web site? I see only XXVI in the CCRL rating list and on the RWBC chronology page. It's not that new (exe dated March 15 2019), but it is new to me.

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.

The bug is discussed here:

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