Hardware conditions for x86-64-v2 release?

I am following your Tantabus repo for some months and have compiled it already a few times for myself,
but even the x86-64 v2 binary release version doesn't run here. (old Quadcore core2 = yorkfield type cpu)
Is it compiled with hardware popcnt?

Moreover I want to ask, if you want to remain anonymous? I am asking because I am the maintainer of the XB/UCI chronology
and only add non anonymous programs there. Don't feel obliged though, it's just your decision :)
AFAIK your are from Australia, at least that's mentioned in your youtube channel...

Yeah, v2 requires popcnt (and a few other features). I updated the release with a baseline release. I didn't do it initially because I wasn't expecting anyone to actually need one.

As for the anonymity thing, yeah, I do wish to remain anonymous (or pseudonymous, as some would say). I'm generally not a fan of tying my real life identity to this, and it's information most don't need anyway. IMO such policies don't achieve much while being overly exclusive.

The baseline releases should resolve this, so I'm closing this issue. Let me know if they somehow do not run.
