+** Version 4.8.0 **
+
+ (see http://www.gnu.org/software/xboard/whats_new/4.8.0/ )
+
+ * New features in this release
+ * Resuming saved unfinished games
+ * Setting up positions more easily
+ * Bitbase adjudication
+ * Showing tablebase hits
+ * A new ICS window
+ * Recalling board themes (XBoard)
+ * Playing moves by clicking them
+ * Fonts in the XBoard GTK build
+ * Using the mousewheel (XBoard)
+ * Displaying a blunder graph
+ * Slicing up a PGN database
+ * Auto-install of engines
+
+ * New variant support
+ * ASEAN Chess
+ * Chu Shogi
+ * Mighty Lion
+ * Highlighting squares on engine command
+ * Let the engine finish a user move
+ * Non-standard variant names
+ * Fischer castling in any variant
+ * Knowing the moves of unknown pieces
+
+ * Fixed bugs
+ * Fix crash on using some Browse buttons in dialogs of the GTK
+ build.
+ * Fix buffer overflow in PGN parser, when all lines end in
+ comments.
+ * Fix crash on specifying non-existent board texture.
+ * Prevent crash on double-click in XB Game List Tags dialog.
+ * Fix the auto-display comment control in the General Options
+ dialog of WinBoard, which was ignored.
+ * Fix adjusting clocks by clicking them in Xaw build.
+ * Fix zooming of Evaluation Graph XB with mousewheel, which was
+ not working at all.
+ * Fix sticky-windows feature WB for Windows 8, where it did not
+ work at all.
+ * WinBoard's seek graph is now sized to also cover any board rim.
+ * Key bindings XB for non menu items are no longer ignored.
+ * Set castling rights correctly after loading of game file from
+ command line.
+ * Allow castling and e.p. moves to be edited into opening book
+ (and prevent their disappearance from it).
+ * The sorting of engine output was made more robust against
+ engines that send thinking output on fail lows.
+ * Fix node-count display, which was clipped to 32 bits.
+ * Suppress board-size oscillations in GTK build.
+ * Fixed detection of screen size in GTK. (This is a mixed
+ blessing, as now it picks the largest possible window size, and
+ in GTK interactive down-sizing is not possible.)
+ * Fix mode highlighting after refusal of Two Machines mode because
+ 2nd engine did not support variant.
+ * Blow up textures that are too small.
+ * Ignore invalid color specs in stead of treating them as black
+ (important because Cairo does not understand old xpm color
+ names).
+ * Prevent XB and WB from becoming unresponsive during lengthy
+ tasks such as book building.
+ * Fix slowdown of WB during loading of huge PGN files due to
+ Game-List window update.
+ * Limit width of menu bar for small board sizes in GTK build.
+ * Improve the code to kill rogue engines in XB.
+ * Drawing of pieces outside the board (in maximaized windows),
+ which left lots of debris, is now suppressed.
+ * Make WB window sizing handle multiple screens.
+ * 50-move counter is no longer reset on Chess960 castlings.
+ * Fix legality testing of A-side castling in FRC (which was
+ allowed with Rook on a- and blocker on b-file).
+ * Fixed piece ID of Falcon in Falcon Chess, which was written as
+ '.' and could not be selected on promotion.
+ * Fix cross-edge e.p. captures in Cylinder Chess (which was not
+ recognized as e.p.).
+ * Fix animation of Seirawan Chess castling + gating at Rook
+ square, which made Rook disappear.
+ * Fix adjudication of stalemates in variant Giveaway.
+ * Display of the variant tag in the Game List now works.
+ * Reset move entry (clearing target-square markers) on 'clear
+ board' in Edit Position mode.
+ * The Game List is automatically updated when you alter the tag
+ selection for the game lines.
+ * Indicate current variant in New Variant dialog of the GTK build
+ (by printing it in boldface on the button).
+
+ * Known Problems
+ * GTK: in a tiling window manager the size of the board seems to be
+ calculated incorrectly. A temporary fix for this is to use a fixed
+ size by using the "-size <N>" and "-fixedSize true" options
+ on the command line.
+
