+Changes of XShogi will are recorded starting with XShogi 1.0 patchlevel 10.
+
+version 1.3
+
+01.06.1999
+ o New maintainer: Mike Vanier (mvanier@bbb.caltech.edu).
+
+ o Merged xshogi into the gnushogi source tree.
+ Henceforth, further revisions of xshogi will be noted in the
+ top-level NEWS file; this file will not be added to.
+
+ o Cleaned up the source code and Makefile.
+
+ o Changed the code to refer to "gnushogi" instead
+ of "gnushogix" since gnushogi now is only
+ one executable, and the default input/output
+ format is the xshogi format.
+
+ o Removed support for Internet Shogi Server (ISS);
+ there are now better ways to play shogi over the internet
+ such as JavaShogi, so this support was redundant.
