The news I know you've all been waiting for!

The new version should fix a few bugs that some tourament managers have notified me of. It also scores about 75% against the previous release (v1.1.2).

I ran a quick gauntlet over night with Latista1.2 against the other engines I could find that will be in it's 5th division group in Leo's tourney. Results are below.

Time was 40/5, and I've found that 1.2 usually is stronger in longer time controls, so I don't think making the 5th division finals is out of the question.
