v.10.0:
This update brings quite large Elo gains, but also important bug fixes (such as taking a tiny amount of CPU while not searching).
The neural network is the same, and the improvements are only about search and performance.
Regarding usability, Obsidian finally supports being executed on hardware where pext is unavailable or slow (Ryzen 3...)
