Napoleon 1.8

Hi guys,

I've just released Napoleon 1.8 which includes various enhancements for both search and evaluation routines. Feel free to test it and please let me know if you encounter any problem.

I had no time to thoroughly test the pondering framework I implemented, but it was imperative to release the build today.

Thanks. Sounds like a good improvement.

Hi Marco,

Thanks for the new release!
I think though this post should be moved to the general forum,
because there it reaches more people who are interested and it fits better.

I noticed now that version 1.8 doesn't work anymore on my old quadcore Win7-64 without popcount support.
The PGO-64 build for 1.7 still works here.

Yes, the latest release only works with bmi2 supported cpus. That means >= Haswell. I had no time to generalize the new code for cross platform usage, but that's the next thing i'm going to do.
