+Chris Sears and Dan Sears wrote the original XBoard. They were
+responsible for versions 1.0 through 1.2. The color scheme was taken
+from Wayne Christopher's XChess
program.
+
+
Tim Mann was primarily responsible for XBoard versions 1.3 through +4.2.7, and for WinBoard (a port of XBoard to Microsoft Win32) from its +inception through version 4.2.7. + +
John Chanak contributed the initial implementation of ICS mode. Evan
+Welsh wrote CMail
, and Patrick Surry helped in designing,
+testing, and documenting it. Elmar Bartel contributed the new piece
+bitmaps introduced in version 3.2. Jochen Wiedmann converted the
+documentation to texinfo. Frank McIngvale added click/click moving,
+the Analysis modes, piece flashing, ZIICS import, and ICS text
+colorization to XBoard. Hugh Fisher added animated piece movement to
+XBoard, and Henrik Gram added it to WinBoard. Mark Williams
+contributed the initial (WinBoard-only) implementation of many new
+features added to both XBoard and WinBoard in version 4.1.0, including
+copy/paste, premove, icsAlarm, autoFlipView, training mode, auto
+raise, and blindfold. Ben Nye contributed X copy/paste code for
+XBoard.
+
+
In a fork from version 4.2.7, Alessandro Scotti added many elements to +the user interface of WinBoard, including the board textures and +font-based rendering, the evaluation-graph, move-history and +engine-output window. He was also responsible for adding the UCI +support. + +
H. G. Muller continued this fork of the project, producing version +4.3. He made WinBoard castling- and e.p.-aware, added variant support +with adjustable board sizes, the crazyhouse holdings, and the fairy +pieces. In addition he added most of the adjudication options, made +WinBoard more robust in dealing with buggy and crashing engines, and +extended time control with a time-odds and node-count-based modes. +Most of the options that initially were WinBoard only have now been +back-ported to XBoard. + +
Michel van den Bergh provided the code for reading Polyglot opening books. + +
Meanwhile, some work continued on the GNU XBoard project maintained at +savannah.gnu.org, but version 4.2.8 was never released. Daniel +Mehrmann was responsible for much of this work. -

Most recently, Arun Persaud worked with H. G. Muller to merge all +the features of the never-released XBoard/WinBoard 4.2.8 of the GNU +XBoard project and the never-released 4.3.16 from H. G.'s fork into a +unified XBoard/WinBoard 4.4, which is now available both from the +savannah.gnu.org web site and the WinBoard forum.
