What's different with the 6.20 Client?

Where can I find the revision notes?
Why is there such an odd jump number in version?
Does this allow me to toggle how many cores to use?
Is there a 64-bit version? Would it matter? I would imagine so, right?

The release notes are stickied to the top section of the forum. For instance, the CPU client release notes are here:

Odd Jump? The next major release version after v5 would be v6. And v6.0x an v6.1x were beta versions tested here on the forum. When v6 was ready for production release, it had worked its way up to v6.2x. Natural development progression....
Not exactly no. If you run the v6.20 CPU client, it runs only one core. If you run the v6.22 combo client it defaults to one core. But adding the -smp switch will make that same client run SMP on 4 cores.
64 bit does not matter, so no, there is not a 64 bit version.
