6 Changes in version 1.3.2 (07/2004):
8 * configure.in has been renamed to configure.ac
10 * A number of small fixes were added to make the program compile and run
11 correctly on modern Linuxes.
14 Changes in version 1.3.1 (07/2001):
16 * New piece bitmaps for both westernized and Japanese piece sets, courtesy of
20 Changes in version 1.3 (07/1999):
22 * xshogi has been merged into the gnushogi source tree and build process.
24 * gnushogi is now only one executable, instead of three (one each for the raw
25 text interface, the xshogi interface, and the curses interface). The three
26 interfaces are still there; you select between them using a command-line
27 option: "gnushogi -C" for the curses interface, "gnushogi -R" for the raw
28 text interface, and "gnushogi -X" or just "gnushogi" for the xshogi
29 interface. Making the xshogi interface the default makes it easier for
30 xshogi to invoke gnushogi (translation: I couldn't be bothered figuring out
31 why this was the case, so I just left it that way).
33 * The gnushogi and xshogi source code has been thoroughly cleaned up and
34 ANSIfied. Several files have been renamed. Makefiles have also been
35 cleaned up considerably, but you don't need to care about this, because...
37 * Building GNU shogi and xshogi now uses a configure script generated by
38 autoconf. This should increase portability and make compilation much
41 * There is now fairly extensive documentation in texinfo form, which has been
42 used to generate info, postscript, and html versions of the documentation.
43 The man page is included in the texinfo file. The (separate) man pages have
44 been updated to deal with the new command-line options for gnushogi.
