Engine Updates

RataAeroespacial 0.2.0 (WB)
C++ source code (Spanish language); FRC; Win32, Linux32
- modified board representation a little (now each piece type has is own piece list)
- deleted much useless stuff (and bugs) in search
- modified hash replacing scheme a little
- added Fruit opening book support, but the book file name needs to be "RataBook.bin" and be in the same directory than RataAeroespacial executable. An example book made of correspondence chess players games is included
- bug fixing everywhere
- this is still a crappy engine, but it's getting better

Redqueen 0.6 (UCI)
1 commit(s) to the C++ source code (commits= 405), no new build
- 405: minor changes
http://sourceforge.net/projects/redqueenchess

Jim Ablett Win/Linux builds
Stockfish 1.9.1 + smooth scaling + gtbs (UCI)
C++ source; mp; FRC; Win32/64
this is not an official release, it is intended for testing
- uses Gaviota tablebases (mod by Peter C)
- uses smooth scaling (mod by Dann Corbit)
http://www.mediafire.com/?ge9712yu22jy185 (direct link)

Note: Yesterday's Dann Corbit build and Peter C builds were buggy, lacked
necessary dlls, or did not use the correct compiler switches. Both are updated,
but with the new JA compile there's no reason to use any other build(s)!
