v.0.6.4:
Functional changes:
Aggressive reductions: highly attacking playing style (estimated gain +40)
Code cleaning, optimizations and simplifications (+25)
Syzygy online function updated: when the position is draw, instead of playing a random move now drawing ones are analyzed shortly (+0)
Specific endgame functions for more positions (+10)
Evaluation tuning (+15)

Non functional changes:
Winboard mode dropped
Bigger chessboard and new "eighties" piece design: playing on the terminal is much easier
Eval board dropped
Improvements in thinking output
New positions in bench command
Help command shows also compile time
Current hash sizes are shown with board command
Ini file, to avoid using UCI options and to configure some other parameters
Hash default is now 128 MB
New dynamic scores function; 0.6.3 scores were quite crazy and out of control
Command line actions:
   b[ench]: runs the benchamrk
   go <seconds> [fen]: analyzes the given position; default is start position
   p[erft] <depth> [fen]: runs perft for the given position; default is start position
   v[iew] <fen>: shows a given position; default is start position
   r[andom] <# of positions>: generates random realistic fen positions
