It runs at level 12
It is synced with the latest dev version of GNU Go (currently 3.7.9) and include additional CVS bug fix, but no other patch like.
Some minor details have changed (problematic timer tuning)
The very crude heuristic of twinbot is refined:

• If the first guess move has a semeai_reason, keep it, don't ask the twin.
• If the first guess move is strategical_defense, keep it.
