+<h3> What's new </h3>
+<p> Starting from 4.5.0 we will summarize the latest changes at <a href="whats_new.html">these</a> webpages. Have a look, try it out and let us know what you think.</p>

 <h3>Testers needed</h3>
 <p> Our next versions will have some major improvements and we are always looking for people who are willing to test those and give us feedback or new ideas. If you are interested, please send an email to our list at <a href="mailto:xboard-devel@gnu.org">&lt;xboard-devel@gnu.org&gt;</a>.</p>
 
+<h3>GTK developer needed</h3>
+<p> We are also working on merging Winboard and XBoard back into one version using a cross platform GTK-front end. This will help us clean up the code and make things like internationalization easier. Progress is slow though, so if you know want to help out there are lots of things waiting to be done. Email the <a href="mailto:xboard-devel@gnu.org">mailing list</a> for more information. </p>
