4 Changes in version 1.4.2 (unreleased):
6 * XShogi is no longer included in the GNU Shogi source, it is
7 available as a separate source archive.
9 Changes in version 1.4.1 (01/2014):
11 * Initial support for the MiniShogi variant, for now as a separate
12 executable built using "./configure --enable-minishogi".
13 * Support for building without the curses UI.
14 * Preliminary win32 support: can be built on cygwin with gcc3, in the
16 * Build system enhancements.
19 Changes in version 1.4.0 (03/2012):
21 * Main change is the license switch to GPL3.
22 * Project is now being maintained on a git repository.
25 Changes in version 1.3.2 (07/2004):
27 * configure.in has been renamed to configure.ac
29 * A number of small fixes were added to make the program compile and run
30 correctly on modern Linuxes.
33 Changes in version 1.3.1 (07/2001):
35 * New piece bitmaps for both westernized and Japanese piece sets, courtesy of
39 Changes in version 1.3 (07/1999):
41 * xshogi has been merged into the gnushogi source tree and build process.
43 * gnushogi is now only one executable, instead of three (one each for the raw
44 text interface, the xshogi interface, and the curses interface). The three
45 interfaces are still there; you select between them using a command-line
46 option: "gnushogi -C" for the curses interface, "gnushogi -R" for the raw
47 text interface, and "gnushogi -X" or just "gnushogi" for the xshogi
48 interface. Making the xshogi interface the default makes it easier for
49 xshogi to invoke gnushogi (translation: I couldn't be bothered figuring out
50 why this was the case, so I just left it that way).
52 * The gnushogi and xshogi source code has been thoroughly cleaned up and
53 ANSIfied. Several files have been renamed. Makefiles have also been
54 cleaned up considerably, but you don't need to care about this, because...
56 * Building GNU shogi and xshogi now uses a configure script generated by
57 autoconf. This should increase portability and make compilation much
60 * There is now fairly extensive documentation in texinfo form, which has been
61 used to generate info, postscript, and html versions of the documentation.
62 The man page is included in the texinfo file. The (separate) man pages have
63 been updated to deal with the new command-line options for gnushogi.
66 This file starts with GNU Shogi 1.3 (07/01/1999).
