Svart 4
I am happy to present Svart 4, featuring a much stronger evaluation network and around 180 elo gain.
Svart 4 has used an OpenBench instance to test its features.
Thanks to the contributions made by @cosmobobak, @uwuplant, @Adam-Kulju, @archishou, @Ciekce, @JouanDeag, @GediminasMasaitis, @Alex2262, @lucametehau, @spamdrew128 and @dede1751, Svart's development has been made much more efficient.

Binaries
Svart's release scheme follows the microarchitecture levels.
x86_64-v3 is the fastest and recommended on modern systems.
x86_64-v2 is less fast but is compatible with CPUs pre-Haswell/Excavator.
x86_64-v1 is the slowest but compatible with almost anything.
See the readme for instructions on how to compile these versions yourself.
