Download link: http://www.mediafire.com/?2v80239zxj82yud

Book support

In addition to its own .cbk book format, Critter can now read Polyglot .bin books too. Just set the "Book File" UCI option to point to a *.bin file. Book creation from pgn file ('makebook' and 'mergebook' console commands) works only with native format.

Repetition detection

Critter now scores 2-fold repetition as draw. See this thread on rybka forum.

Enjoy

- fixed book loading problems (was reported here)
- updated gtb32.dll and gtb64.dll files to version 0.4 of gaviota tablebase probing code (fixes en passant handling). These should be also compatible with Critter 0.90
- fixed a very nasty bug with storing tablebase probe results in hash table. Thanks to Jouni Uski for reporting this (more details here)

When not using tablebases, the node counts in every position should be same as in the original 1.0 release.

Linux version is not updated because it does not use tablebases yet.
