Nebula 1.5
http://sites.google.com/site/nebulachess

Improved basic material, passed pawn and king safety evaluation.
New evaluation terms: piece-square tables, isolated/doubled/backwards pawns, pawn storms, candidate passers, rook on open/semi-open files and rook on 7th row.
Still missing are trapped pieces detection, outposts etc.
Search is the same as in 1.0 (almost no pruning so it's not going very deep).
