Of course. I'm doing releases only if I have significant strength improvement.
At least 60 points.

Major changes:

— new king safety/king attack eval method;
— new passed pawns eval method;
— new transposition table structure;
— smarter pawn structure evaluation;
— huge tuning of evaluation function;
— several small bugfixes and optimizations.

Estimated ELO gain: +50
