I would sure be happy if that jump in version number is due to strength increase and not because you implemented UCI.

Jump in version numbering is mostly due to engine was completely rewritten from scratch in another language (pure C instead of C++). Numbers 4.x stand for numerous internal versions I tested in 2005-2006.

As to the strength, there is some improvement, according to my tests. Not hundreds of points, but at least 50 points over GreKo 2.817 (the best so far)...
