Changes.txt:

2002 Nov. Version 1.05
  o It's basically the same as v1.0.1 with some bugfixes

2002-09-29 Version 1.0.1
  o Fixed broken UCI interface. Ponder on should work now.

2002-09-22 Version 1.0.0
  o First public release.

I tested both versions in 5 minute blitz over the course of several months in
multi-engine tournaments. 1.05 had a slight edge at the end. If I recall the ELO
difference was under 10. Unfortunately, I mistakenly deleted the evidence, but I
currently use 1.05 in all my tournaments. It is the undisputed leader over
several thousand games.
