Update: Glass 1.2
also new opening book manager
-the engine finally comes with multiPV support.
-on some platforms it should be noticeably faster due to a change of some numeric types.
-Glass interpolates between midgame and endgame pcsq tables now
-finally, an awful king safety bug has been fixed, making Glass much more aggressive, if slightly erratic.
