+Known bugs:
+
+- some positions show problem in the evaluation algorithm
+- minishogi repetition rule, different from standard shogi, is
+  not implemented
+- with no piece on board, computer generates invalid move
+
 Target for v1.5:
 
-- refactor dspwrappers into a driver-like structure
-- integrate H.G.Muller's work on the xboard protocol on top of that
-- deprecate xshogi in favor of xboard
+- use ~/.gnushogi for binary book and hash file
+
 - make minishogi a run-time option rather than a compile-time one,
   using the "variant" mechanism of the xboard protocol

   - position of captured pieces in curses mode

+- find out why the engine is so weak
+  - make it battle against Mutz-era gnushogi, and other engines, and

+  - see what needs updating in book
+- express available commands as display-dependant, instead of using if(XSHOGI)
+  - make "help" list commands available for current display
+- make X and raw two different display drivers
