most of the recent updates were playchess.com server related, and whenever they
found some bugs or fixed some bugs they included a new version of the engine
with the upgrade, i dont see anything wrong with that, the only thing irritating
is having to upgrade it so frequently.

the server can be also a good place to debug their engine, but I dont think they
do that.
