More info
Heimdall is available on Lichess under its old name (Nimfish), feel free to challenge it! I try to keep the engine running on there always up to date with the changes on the master branch

Heimdall - what's new?
A lot of nitty-gritty performance stuff found by GPT 6 Astra (thanks OpenAI!), a shiny new threat inputs network (many many thanks to @swedishchef for helping me with that!) and a lot of other minor things. Can't really be arsed to write a changelog, nobody reads those anyway. Just read the commits if you're interested!
One important note is that heimdall now releases with universal binaries! I won't claim to have the brains to understand most of the logic that goes into that (I shamelessly vibecoded that part, deal with it), but it should simplify testing quite a bit. See here for details!
