Winter 0.4a

Winter 0.4a features an improved eval function and a simplified SMP which should be more stable on systems under heavy load.
It is also now easier to train your own flavour of Winter, instructions will follow soon in the Readme.md on github.

Compared to Winter 0.4 the only changes are a fixed selective depth UCI output, version number update and Windows compile is a cross compile instead of native.

Assuming the cross compile functions works for other users, the next few versions will likely also be cross compiles, as I am not expecting to have access to a private Windows system again until August.

Winter v0.1.1

Winter is a UCI chess engine.

For a high level overview of the features, someone seems to already have made a nice CPW page for Winter. It contains a pretty good overview of the features I mentioned when I announced Winter on the CCC forums as well as links that can help understand those features.

Compared to Winter v0.1 support for Windows has been added.

Thank you to Julian Croci for building the binary for OSX. On Linux and OSX systems the binary can be built via the makefile in the root directory.
