Iris 2.0 what's new?

Release notes
The second release of Iris! Iris v2.0 is significantly stronger than v1.0.

This comes mostly from introducing NNUE, which completely replaces the previously used HCE. The network is 768 -> 128x2 -> 1, trained on 150,000,000 positions generated from self-play.

Additionally, a few updates to search have been made, such as singular extension, razoring, etc.
Once again huge thanks to members of the MinusKelvin discord for helping me and allowing me into their Openbench instance.
Choose your binary based on microarchitecture levels.
