Hi Vincent,
Dann posted the correct link.
There are not so much changes. The main changes are:
- futilitiy pruning and extended futility pruning like Heinz
- a little change in king safety
- lazy evaluation
- bade trade bonus and knight outpost

I hadn´t the time to try more things because the pressure from the forum was to
high to distribute a new release. I am not satisfied with the version 1.0. But
now i have the time to try out more things.

Best regards,
Thomas
