-** Announcing the release of XBoard and WinBoard, version 4.2.7 **
+** Announcing the release of XBoard and WinBoard, version 4.4.0 **
XBoard is a graphical chessboard for the X Window System that can
serve as a user interface for GNU Chess, Crafty, and other chess
chess.
A new release of both XBoard and WinBoard is now available. Version
-4.2.7 corrects about two dozen bugs in the 4.2.6 release. See the
-ChangeLog for a list. In addition, WinBoard 4.2.7 comes bundled with
-GNU Chess 5.07 instead of the old 5.02+ version. The XBoard and
-WinBoard source code trees have been merged, so the xboard download
-now contains the complete source for both.
+4.4.0 includes many changes. It is the first major release of
+xboard/winboard after a fork of the project after version 4.2.7. It
+includes small changes made in the main line and changes made by a
+fork of Alessandro Scotti and lots of changes made afterwards by
+H.G. Muller (released as versions 4.3.x). This release represents a
+unified version of all changes made after the fork. It includes many
+new features and bugfixes.
-The various larger contributions that people have submitted since the
-4.2.6 release are not yet included in 4.2.7. The source code for
-these contributions is now available, however (see
-http://www.tim-mann.org/extensions.html), and we plan to include most
-of them in a future release once the contributors complete necessary
-copyright assignment paperwork.
