Thanks for this new version, for the linux versions in particular.
According to a first test it seems to be improved in strength:

When setting it up as an xboard engine I implemented the same values which are
shown when running as an uci engine. It says:

option name NeuroMaterial type spin default 40 min 0 max 100

In the example of the Hermann.ini it is written:

option name NeuroMaterial type spin default 35 min 0 max 100

# The neural networks share of the material evaluation in percent

.

I guess the example file is just not updated?

Correct. This option defaults to 40. I will correct the descriptions in the Hermann.ini and upload the new .zip and .tar files soon.
But this may take some time because I want to wait for a test game with long time control to finish before I can boot linux.

The engine will not change. It is just the description of the options in the file Hermann.ini.

I just downloaded and tested it with 7zip and with Windows XP's zip. I also tested the files inside. No problems found.
