Dear Jim,
I tried to download some of your compiles (Stash and Vault), but my Windows defender stopped both downloads
Virus detected Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml
I tried again with the same result.
Sincerely Yours

Hi Viktor,
Other people have reported this issue as well. I don't know what is causing it. Downloads are completely safe.
You can add an exception in Windows defender to allow the download.

At least Vault is additionally compressed with UPX 4.23 this makes it suspicious for quite some virus scanners.
I guess Jim wants to save space for his cloud storage.
I have hundreds of unreleased versions/unknown programs compiled here, not sure if I should make them available too ;)

That's strange. What about the generic clang version ?
Jim.
Surprisingly (or not really, because I believe you pgo'ed vs. bench?) with bench it's a bit different.
The clang bench is a bit faster than the gcc bench 4.86x sec. vs. 5.55x sec. (several runs), but as the diff
in start pos is so overwhelming I won't trust the bench over real games here.
Probably a test of both versions over lots of games (10000s') would reveal more truth.

P.S.
Well, the original 0.4b which has just two non-game playing relevant commits less, even has a better bench
for both avx2 and bmi2 of around 4.2x sec -4.3xsec for both. (but 5-6% lower nps for startpos, not conclusive)

Out of curiosity I did a test between both versions and the result was even more significant than expected
for a 22-23% nps increase for the gcc version in searching from startpos.
Not sure though I have ever seen that bench and search from startpos contradict for the same binary.
Usually I only decide via search from startpos with go infinite (or go depth XX) runs, which of my compilations (or from other people)
are faster.

Android builds work in DroidFish but not in Chess For Android.
Jim.
Hi Jim,
I think it should not be called plain 1.6, because it is 27 commits (and 3 years later - last commit 2023) above the official release 1.6
and also has uci support now. Also I think this should be mentioned in a readme too.
You might consider either adding the commit number/sha/date of last commit, or increase the version number.

I've updated it now with latest commit number and updated the readme with all changes since last official release.
