The interpolated mapping within the range from 0.32 and 1.0 has been adjusted so that 0.5 now exactly corresponds to +27. As a consequence, certain relations that were previously between 25 and 28 (rounded down) may have gained +1 in the UI, i.e. they are now displayed as 26 instead of 25, etc. For consistency, the negative range between -1.0 and -0.32 has been adjusted analogously (-0.5 is now displayed as -27).
