This release consists mainly of the addition of NNUE. Peacekeeper now uses a 768->256x2->1 neural net with CReLU as the activation function, trained on 197M selfplay positions generated from previous nets and the original HCE. Singular extensions have also been added, with a variety of add-ons.

In standard chess, this release is 220 elo stronger in selfplay, and 177 elo stronger in a gauntlet against other opponents of similar strength.
