       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.

+   * 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.
