Hello,

No, that's why I included 3 libraries in the release.
I develop with QtCreator on Windows. I didn't found a way to include
the libraries into the code.
I just notices that the file source.zip contains the old sources,
and not the recent ones. Since I am very new to github, do you know
why ?

No. I just use engines in tournaments and gauntlets for CCRL.

Should be in the region of 2050-2100, although I've only had the time to run a thousand games or so against CCRL engines (and at only 15+0.5 time control)

I sincerely apologise for the time wasted if anyone already began testing Polaris, but I just released 1.2.0 - among other things, fixing a 200 elo (in STC self-play) bug.

Caissa 1.7 has been released:
https://github.com/Witek902/Caissa/releases/tag/1.7

Around 40-80 Elo gain compared to previous version (depending on time control) in selfplay games.

Peacekeeper v1.30

https://github.com/Sazgr/peacekeeper/releases/tag/v1.30

60-75 elo stronger than v1.20, probably 2640 blitz elo and 2530 LTC elo (CCRL scale).
