+General Enhancements:

+  possible on WB engines
+* New Polyglot is available that relays the interactive setting of these parameters to UCI engines
+* Match mode suports an auto-increment mode, so that all games or positions from a file can be played
+* Draw claims with Kings and an arbitrary number of like Bishops (e.g. KBBKB) are accepted
+
+The source tree in original xboard 4.2.7 format can now be compiled under Cygwin with the aid
+of the cygwin.mak file in the ~/winboard/ subdirectory of the source releasy, after you put
+the hep-file from an executabl distribution there. Maefiles for other compilers are not updated
+since 4.2.7, as I do not have those compilers.
