I did not send CB 00_8_309 because I hope to have a better version and I am not
happy with results that I got from testers of version 309 when most of the
results were even slightly worse than 00_8_295.

At this moment I still do not have newer version that is better than 309 based
on my tests.

I hope to have it in the next days and send it to CB

If CB test 295 now then it is ok because I later want to compare results with
results of a newer version.
