STK-Vector-64 v1.1.1

Syzygy root ranking now respects UCI searchmoves and passes earlier repetition
history to DTZ probing. The shipped STK-HalfKA topology, weights and standard
search fingerprints with tablebases disabled are unchanged.

Changes since v1.1.0:

  • DTZ and WDL fallback rank only allowed legal root moves, including when all
    globally optimal moves are excluded by the caller.
  • DTZ receives repetitions since the last capture or pawn move, including an
    earlier cycle when the current root has not repeated. A FEN alone cannot
    reconstruct game history; supply the moves in the UCI position command.
  • Adapter regression tests and optional real-table tests cover restricted
    search, repetition history, fallback and the fifty-move boundary.
  • Release publication finds authenticated drafts omitted by GitHub's tag
    endpoint while retaining source, checksum and upload verification.
  • Corrected stale Syzygy documentation and updated the README video preview.

Known material-adjudication, network-replacement and Syzygy boundaries remain;
read LIMITATIONS.md in the tagged source. Matching external WDL/DTZ files are
required for tablebase coverage and are not bundled. There is no absolute Elo
or general speedup claim.

Download release-notices.zip with the executable. release-source.tar.gz
contains the corresponding source. Verify downloads with SHA256SUMS.
Per-platform .build.json files and release-builds.json identify the
source, toolchain, flags, embedded network and UI bundle.

Every platform ships six executables (.exe last on Windows):

Suffix Capability
(none) Standard chess with classical evaluation.
-nnue Standard chess with the shipped network embedded.
-all Standard chess with NNUE; crazyhouse and bughouse use classical evaluation.
-variants Drop variants with classical evaluation, no embedded net.
-validator Legality, terminal and FEN queries as one-line JSON.
-viz Vector Scope with the network and UI embedded.

x86-64-v3 needs AVX2 and BMI2; x86-64-v2 needs SSE4.2 and POPCNT.
Windows requires AVX2. arm64-dotprod requires ARMv8.2 dot-product;
plain arm64 targets ARMv8-A. Linux assets are built on Ubuntu 24.04;
compiler/runtime and macOS deployment details are in the build records.

The notices archive preserves component terms and the model card;
it does not establish missing network training provenance or grant new rights.
