Fruit and Strelka seems to better than most of the commercial programs out there.

I wonder if you plan to test all the beta versions of Fruit that were released or do CCRL test only non beta versions?

Regards.

Thanks for this info,Graham.

Fruit 0051103 seems to be certainly better than most of the other betas, CCRL would give the exact stats after the tests!

For 40/4 I am running an identical gauntlet with each version on the same machine - it will just take a while
