As far as 'chess' goes, 17.7 and 17.8 are identical. Someone pointed out a few problems with compiler warnings on different platforms, dealing with passing a long long to an fseek() call when it should have been a long, for one example. 17.8 cleaned this up, as well as a couple of other problems (one was the bench command would crash and burn if you had no books.bin file). Engine-wise, both are identical. I played the first weekend with 17.7, the second with 17.8... both play identical moves, with identical scores and node counts (if you don't use SMP). I thought I would release 17.8 "as is" as a reference point for the ICC tournament version, in case any questions ever come up about "Hey, my crafty won't play that move ever, I think it had some human intervention." This version can be used by anyone to debunk such a statement.
