1.4.0 is more of a bugfix and feature release than pure strength improvement, unlike 1.3.0.
nevertheless, it is significantly stronger than 1.3.0, especially at LTC:

Elo testing done with the UHO_4060_v2 book.
Fewer games run than normal due to CPU time constraints (and LTC testing takes forever).
