           Some game definitions using the Remarkable Rookies army (which
           uses a range-4 Rook) have been added as sub-variants of fairy.
 
+8/9/2014  Version 4.8T. Three bug fixes, some enhancements, two new variants:
+          * mark Rook non-virgin after castling, so it cannot gate in Seirawan
+          * Fix printing of variants feature in MaxQi
+          * Sending the setup command now also works with 3rd-rank Pawns
+          * Allow sending a parent variant with 'setup'
+          * Implement new method for indicating promo-zone width = 3
+          * Implement new variant nocastle
+          * Implement new variant ASEAN Chess
+          * Add option to play Makruk with Ai-Wok in stead of Met
+
+17/10/2014 Version 4.8U. Four new variants were added:
+          * Charge of the Light Brigade
+          * King of the Hill
+          * Bifurcator Chess
+          * Team-Mate Chess
+          General game-playing enhancements:
+          * Hoppers can now be specified as hopping over friendly pieces
+          only, and the point where the second move leg starts can be
+          moved to the step just before hitting the platform.
+          * Sliders will now toggle to their secondary move only once,
+          allowing bent riders at the expense of crooked ones.
+          * Code is added to recognize the situation 'bare King', and
+          give higher award for cornering it in that case, to make mating
+          with many weak pieces (as regularly occurs in Makruk) easier.
+          * When a mate of the bare King in one corner cannot be found,
+          points will be awarded to drive the King out of that corner to
+          another one, allowing it to successfully perform KBNK-like mates.
+          * Make it possible to mark pieces as invalid promotion choice
+          Embracement of new standards:
+          * Add logo, and install it according to new 'plugin standard'
+          * Install a (new) .eng file to comply with the plugin standard
+          * Issue the (new) XBoard 'piece' command for all non-standard pieces
+          New options:
+          * Fifty-move claiming can be adapted to the need of the variant
+          * A comment line can now be displayed with each variant through
+          an 'Info' button in the engine options
+          Bugfixes, two of fatal bugs:
+          * Fix printing of Seirawan gating moves
+          * Correct the moves of the Marshal in the Rookies army of CWDA
+          * suppress emission of a spurious (garbled) setup command at startup
+          * Fix positioning of Pawns in ASEAN Chess in setup command
