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 (02/2014):
13 * XShogi is no longer included in the GNU Shogi source, it is
14 available as a separate source archive.
15 * Fixes for edit mode:
16 - fixed clobbering of board on invalid input
17 - display a message on wrong input
18 * Fixed Curses mode display:
19 - reversed column number for MiniShogi
20 - clock and captures position for MiniShogi
21 - refresh display after "switch" to get player names updated
22 - layout fixes, notably when using only 80 columns
23 * Minor code cleanups.
25 Changes in version 1.4.1 (01/2014):
27 * Initial support for the MiniShogi variant, for now as a separate
28 executable built using "./configure --enable-minishogi".
29 * Support for building without the curses UI.
30 * Preliminary win32 support: can be built on cygwin with gcc3, in the
32 * Build system enhancements.
35 Changes in version 1.4.0 (03/2012):
37 * Main change is the license switch to GPL3.
38 * Project is now being maintained on a git repository.
41 Changes in version 1.3.2 (07/2004):
43 * configure.in has been renamed to configure.ac
45 * A number of small fixes were added to make the program compile and run
46 correctly on modern Linuxes.
49 Changes in version 1.3.1 (07/2001):
51 * New piece bitmaps for both westernized and Japanese piece sets, courtesy of
55 Changes in version 1.3 (07/1999):
57 * xshogi has been merged into the gnushogi source tree and build process.
59 * gnushogi is now only one executable, instead of three (one each for the raw
60 text interface, the xshogi interface, and the curses interface). The three
61 interfaces are still there; you select between them using a command-line
62 option: "gnushogi -C" for the curses interface, "gnushogi -R" for the raw
63 text interface, and "gnushogi -X" or just "gnushogi" for the xshogi
64 interface. Making the xshogi interface the default makes it easier for
65 xshogi to invoke gnushogi (translation: I couldn't be bothered figuring out
66 why this was the case, so I just left it that way).
68 * The gnushogi and xshogi source code has been thoroughly cleaned up and
69 ANSIfied. Several files have been renamed. Makefiles have also been
70 cleaned up considerably, but you don't need to care about this, because...
72 * Building GNU shogi and xshogi now uses a configure script generated by
73 autoconf. This should increase portability and make compilation much
76 * There is now fairly extensive documentation in texinfo form, which has been
77 used to generate info, postscript, and html versions of the documentation.
78 The man page is included in the texinfo file. The (separate) man pages have
79 been updated to deal with the new command-line options for gnushogi.
82 This file starts with GNU Shogi 1.3 (07/01/1999).
