4 Changes in version 1.5.0 (unreleased):
6 * Build system switched from pure autoconf to automake
7 * Support for cross-compilation using standard "./configure --host=...",
8 including building windows binaries (both 32bit and 64bit) using
9 the gcc-mingw toolchain
11 Changes in version 1.4.2 (unreleased):
13 * XShogi is no longer included in the GNU Shogi source, it is
14 available as a separate source archive.
16 Changes in version 1.4.1 (01/2014):
18 * Initial support for the MiniShogi variant, for now as a separate
19 executable built using "./configure --enable-minishogi".
20 * Support for building without the curses UI.
21 * Preliminary win32 support: can be built on cygwin with gcc3, in the
23 * Build system enhancements.
26 Changes in version 1.4.0 (03/2012):
28 * Main change is the license switch to GPL3.
29 * Project is now being maintained on a git repository.
32 Changes in version 1.3.2 (07/2004):
34 * configure.in has been renamed to configure.ac
36 * A number of small fixes were added to make the program compile and run
37 correctly on modern Linuxes.
40 Changes in version 1.3.1 (07/2001):
42 * New piece bitmaps for both westernized and Japanese piece sets, courtesy of
46 Changes in version 1.3 (07/1999):
48 * xshogi has been merged into the gnushogi source tree and build process.
50 * gnushogi is now only one executable, instead of three (one each for the raw
51 text interface, the xshogi interface, and the curses interface). The three
52 interfaces are still there; you select between them using a command-line
53 option: "gnushogi -C" for the curses interface, "gnushogi -R" for the raw
54 text interface, and "gnushogi -X" or just "gnushogi" for the xshogi
55 interface. Making the xshogi interface the default makes it easier for
56 xshogi to invoke gnushogi (translation: I couldn't be bothered figuring out
57 why this was the case, so I just left it that way).
59 * The gnushogi and xshogi source code has been thoroughly cleaned up and
60 ANSIfied. Several files have been renamed. Makefiles have also been
61 cleaned up considerably, but you don't need to care about this, because...
63 * Building GNU shogi and xshogi now uses a configure script generated by
64 autoconf. This should increase portability and make compilation much
67 * There is now fairly extensive documentation in texinfo form, which has been
68 used to generate info, postscript, and html versions of the documentation.
69 The man page is included in the texinfo file. The (separate) man pages have
70 been updated to deal with the new command-line options for gnushogi.
73 This file starts with GNU Shogi 1.3 (07/01/1999).
