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.
8 * Fix clobbering of board on invalid input when editing board.
9 * Fixed Curses mode display:
10 - reversed column number for MiniShogi
11 - clock position for MiniShogi
12 - artifacts while prompting in edit mode with only 80 columns
13 * Minor code cleanups.
15 Changes in version 1.4.1 (01/2014):
17 * Initial support for the MiniShogi variant, for now as a separate
18 executable built using "./configure --enable-minishogi".
19 * Support for building without the curses UI.
20 * Preliminary win32 support: can be built on cygwin with gcc3, in the
22 * Build system enhancements.
25 Changes in version 1.4.0 (03/2012):
27 * Main change is the license switch to GPL3.
28 * Project is now being maintained on a git repository.
31 Changes in version 1.3.2 (07/2004):
33 * configure.in has been renamed to configure.ac
35 * A number of small fixes were added to make the program compile and run
36 correctly on modern Linuxes.
39 Changes in version 1.3.1 (07/2001):
41 * New piece bitmaps for both westernized and Japanese piece sets, courtesy of
45 Changes in version 1.3 (07/1999):
47 * xshogi has been merged into the gnushogi source tree and build process.
49 * gnushogi is now only one executable, instead of three (one each for the raw
50 text interface, the xshogi interface, and the curses interface). The three
51 interfaces are still there; you select between them using a command-line
52 option: "gnushogi -C" for the curses interface, "gnushogi -R" for the raw
53 text interface, and "gnushogi -X" or just "gnushogi" for the xshogi
54 interface. Making the xshogi interface the default makes it easier for
55 xshogi to invoke gnushogi (translation: I couldn't be bothered figuring out
56 why this was the case, so I just left it that way).
58 * The gnushogi and xshogi source code has been thoroughly cleaned up and
59 ANSIfied. Several files have been renamed. Makefiles have also been
60 cleaned up considerably, but you don't need to care about this, because...
62 * Building GNU shogi and xshogi now uses a configure script generated by
63 autoconf. This should increase portability and make compilation much
66 * There is now fairly extensive documentation in texinfo form, which has been
67 used to generate info, postscript, and html versions of the documentation.
68 The man page is included in the texinfo file. The (separate) man pages have
69 been updated to deal with the new command-line options for gnushogi.
72 This file starts with GNU Shogi 1.3 (07/01/1999).
