The important change is adding a -e script [args...] hook to vw-hypersearch so users can plug-in arbitrary model goodness evaluation functions rather than the default average loss from vw. This already helped me a lot to move much faster forward in a Kaggle competition. e.g. You may wrap KDD perf on independent test sets, use various AUCs etc.

The other is miscellaneous enhancements to vw-convergence. Thanks.
