> Where can I download the updated windows version on SCID?

Did you really mean SCID? If so, you have to look on
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/scid/>.

If you are interested in Scidb's windows version:

There does not yet exists a Windows version, this version
is pending. Building a Windows requires:

- A (quite aomplex) library to emulate the missing functions
  fopencookie() and open_memstream() under Windows.

- Porting all system specific functionalities - currently the
  porting is done partially under Windows.

- Intensive testing because the GUI has a different behavior
  under Windows.

Probably I will build a windows version at end of year?!

I've released version #650. Beside some important bug-fixes Scidb 
now supports the old ChessBase format .cbf as well. This is of
course not the most wanted feature, but I wrote this decoder about
10 years ago and I decided to integrate it for completeness.

Furthermore I've increased the version number of Scidb's database
format .sci to 0.94:

1) Fix in Crazyhouse decoding.
2) One speed improvement for position search.

An automatic upgrade of older databases is integrated.

Cheers,
Gregor
