21  executable built using "./configure --enable-minishogi".

35
36* configure.in has been renamed to configure.ac
37

42Changes in version 1.3.1 (07/2001):
43
44* New piece bitmaps for both westernized and Japanese piece sets, courtesy of
45  Bernhard Maerz.

48Changes in version 1.3 (07/1999):
49
50* xshogi has been merged into the gnushogi source tree and build process.
51
52* gnushogi is now only one executable, instead of three (one each for the raw
53  text interface, the xshogi interface, and the curses interface).  The three
54  interfaces are still there; you select between them using a command-line
55  option: "gnushogi -C" for the curses interface, "gnushogi -R" for the raw
56  text interface, and "gnushogi -X" or just "gnushogi" for the xshogi
57  interface.  Making the xshogi interface the default makes it easier for
58  xshogi to invoke gnushogi (translation: I couldn't be bothered figuring out
59  why this was the case, so I just left it that way).
60
61* The gnushogi and xshogi source code has been thoroughly cleaned up and
62  ANSIfied.  Several files have been renamed.  Makefiles have also been
63  cleaned up considerably, but you don't need to care about this, because...
64
65* Building GNU shogi and xshogi now uses a configure script generated by
66  autoconf.  This should increase portability and make compilation much
67  easier.
68
69* There is now fairly extensive documentation in texinfo form, which has been
70  used to generate info, postscript, and html versions of the documentation.
71  The man page is included in the texinfo file.  The (separate) man pages have
72  been updated to deal with the new command-line options for gnushogi.
