+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.

+
+02.07.1993

+   blinks is controlled by BLINK_COUNT in "xshogi.h".
+ 
+04/09/1993
+   Extenting the "save game" option. Text files created by this commond
+   can be used as GNU Shogi text book files. If the file name exists,

+   to overwrite the existing file. 
+
+
+patchlevel 10 -> 11
+
+04/08/1993
+   Correction of the "save game" command. Now, games saved with this

+   install on different machines.
+04/02/1993

+   pieces from Paul Reines as "western_bitmaps". This forces minor
+   changes in xshogi.c.
