In your Link (with Download-Links) is not clear that it is not 57a, but 57b!

I can't find the 57b source on Ippolit's wiki was this made by someone else?

There is no 57b source/compile. All the binaries are named 9.xxb internally, where 9 represents 9999, xx is last 2 numbers of the released source (999957), and b is simply beta. Just like previous releases were 9.58b, 9.63b, 9.64b, 9.65b, 9.66b, 9.67b, 9.68b, 9.70b, 9.73b, 9.76b, 9.81b, 9.84b, 9.87b. The next will also be named 9.xxb. Hope the confusion is clarified. The compiles are directly from original source without any changes that would affect integrity of the engine.

If you create the above engines as UCI, you will see in the engine window "Ivanhoe 9.57b", w32 or X64.

There is 99999957a source, but not 57b source? I have 57a source from Ippolit Wiki.

If this is true, then the compilation was made not by MS VC, but by another compiler? Which one: Intel or Mingw's gcc?
Was it somehow PGO optimized? (seems Yes, because its Kns is very good). In case, it was yet compiled by MS VS 2010 somehow , could You include the corresponding .vcxproj file into Your distribution , pls?
