Hi Alexander,

These are not settings, but new version of the program with changes inside the
program.
The best setting for Shredder 9 is CE 9S, it is not possible to do a better
setting as the program should be improved. The only thing that may improve the
setting is pruning which may be better at 2 or 3, but this needs to be tested.

9.14 is just the latest exp. version. Those will be made one after another until
we will reach the level we want to release Shredder 10.

Well, to me 100 points improvements is the very minimum as 150 would be
better...I hope we can do even more. I would like 200!
