Track Gain calculated in Foobar v1.1.7 is different that in v1.1.6

After I installed the new version Foobar2000 v1.1.7, I noticed that the ReplayGain calculated were different from the calculated in the previous version v1.1.6.
For example, in the following musics that I ripped from my CDs (to FLAC codec):

INX – Need You Tonight (album Greatest Hits):
  Foobar v1.1.6 – Track Gain = -6.76 dB / Track Peak = 0.953888
  Foobar v1.1.7 – Track Gain = -5.22 dB / Track Peak = 0.953888

New Order – Regret (album The Best of New Order):
  Foobar v1.1.6 – Track Gain = -9.84 dB / Track Peak = 0.999969
  Foobar v1.1.7 – Track Gain = -11.20 dB / Track Peak = 0.999969

Is this right? The new Track Gain will be adopted from now?

My system: Windows Vista Home Premium SP2.
Components installed: File Integrity Verifier / Masstager / Playback Statistics.
The other components are the installed together with Foobar by default.

Gain calculation was updated in 1.1.7. Not sure what "adopted from now" means. It is the implementation that is currently used and I would guess will be until/ if an improvement occurs within libebur128
