I have no idea.  It contains some very experimental and poorly
tested new search code which could be a significant improvement,
but could just as well make the playing strength drop like a stone.
It wouldn't surprise me if 0.2.5j turns out to be 100 points weaker
than 0.2.4, and it wouldn't surprise me if it is 50 points stronger.
The former is unfortunately a bit more likely, though.

>May I test it in my tests?

Of course, I would be happy if you do.  I greatly appreciate
the work you do.  :-)

Just make sure you don't test too many combinations of versions
and settings, because that would make it impossible to get
sufficiently many games for each combination.
