I think there should exist a separate file consisting the list of modifications
at Hyatt ftp site. People should be able to easily read what was changed so they
would know what to expect from a new version. If they see that a passed pawn
code bug has been fixed, then it is _very_ likely that the program will play
stronger on average. No need to speculate.
