The fact that stockfish4 is the official release does not mean that it has no bugs.

I believe that it always had bugs and I believe that the developement version also has bugs

current stockfish evaluate the following position as positive in small depth because it does not detect stalemate inside the evaluation
[d]7k/8/7K/6p1/6B1/7P/8/8 w - - 0 1

It clearly can cause stockfish to be wrong in evaluating earlier positions.

I believe that simply detecting stalemate in the evaluation scales well because it has a static price in speed that is going to be smaller at long time control and it can avoid mistakes of wrong evaluation at long time control but unfortunately the time control that they use in testing may not be well enough to prove it or we need to write some fast function about detecting stalemate.

In my opinion you can ask everyone who does use a compilation tests DEV,
tests can last three weeks, which will 20 or 30 new solutions.

Stockfish four plays maravillosamnete official relase, I think is what should be used in testing, not one marked with a numbering versions.
If the officer relase version is incorrect,
is changed to a correct and forth.

It may happen that always get a bad result either because of the current version, it will say that the DEV version is better.
It's a bit unfair.

Stockfish 4 is very good.
