It has been a while, but Dragon version 4.7.0 is now available:
New look, new icons
Removed all references to paid version/registration. It is all free now.
Solved crash if you used 32 or more processor cores (engine is unchanged otherwise)
You can now download the 6 piece endings from view->endgame databases
The old site will be down per 1/7/2026 and now redirects to:

Thank you for the new version of the program. Unfortunately, there are errors in the program.
1.The program is recording the moves incorrectly during the game.
I noticed that when I make a move with white, the program does not save it. And I will save it and the program will make a move with black.
2.Unable to generate the databases.
A black window appears and nothing happens.

Hello Michel,
The DXP mode isn't working, and the 1-ply balanced and 2-ply balanced options are unavailable.
Sincerely.
