13    o Merged xshogi into the gnushogi source tree.
14      Henceforth, further revisions of xshogi will be noted in the
15      top-level NEWS file; this file will not be added to.
16
17    o Cleaned up the source code and Makefile.
18
19    o Changed the code to refer to "gnushogi" instead
20      of "gnushogix" since gnushogi now is only
21      one executable, and the default input/output
22      format is the xshogi format.
23
24    o Removed support for Internet Shogi Server (ISS);
25      there are now better ways to play shogi over the internet
26      such as JavaShogi, so this support was redundant.
