I don't think it will be an issue for a while.

This version isn't clearly better at studies, but it is the first
version I haven't beaten in testing. There is plenty of scope for
improving the search and evaluation.

I think making the style of play adjustable will make it easier to tune
the evaluation, so what you lose in performance you make up with accuracy.

However a bug made it into 5.06 regarding the hashsize option so 5.07
will follow shortly - mea culpa (a bug I fixed, but never committed the
fix, and it is now lost to the great bit bucket - I feel so small). I
hope to add some automated regression testing as well.
