Maybe after the match against Hydra...:-)

Well, do not forget that we cannot test against Hydra while they do and they
have no money problems at all to test with any kind of harware.

If we will improve the program, as we are planning, we may will make a Shredder
10 new realease or an upgrade to 9.0 as Stefan will decide later...

First we need to improve the program and beat Hydra...
