So this statement from the update page:

"Besides some minor bug-fixes this version comes with a stronger chess engine,
especially on short time controls its elo rating has increased a lot."

And this statement:

"The Rebel 12 engine:
- Fixed some small bugs. - Playing strength increased."

refers to the Rebel.eng file and not to Rebel12.exe? Is my interpretation
correct?
