Release Info

I have decided to continue the development of Black Marlin after a couple months long break. This release consists of many improvements on search and the Neural Network, the most significant one being the usage of threats.

Selecting Binaries

If you are on Apple Silicon, the binary is blackmarlin-darwin-arm.
On any other system, the binaries with higher numbers are faster as long as your hardware supports them, more information below.

If you know the capabilities of your CPU:
x86-64: SSE2
x86-64-v2: SSSE3, SSE4.2
x86-64-v3: AVX2
x86-64-v4: AVX512

Otherwise, pick your operating system and start from the binary with the highest x86-64 level and pick a lower one until the binary doesn't crash. Alternatively, check the link here.
