1GNU shogi news 2-------------- 3 4Changes in version 1.4.2 (02/2014): 5 6* XShogi is no longer included in the GNU Shogi source, it is 7 available as a separate source archive. 8* Fixes for edit mode: 9 - fixed clobbering of board on invalid input 10 - display a message on wrong input 11* Fixed Curses mode display: 12 - reversed column number for MiniShogi 13 - clock and captures position for MiniShogi 14 - refresh display after "switch" to get player names updated 15 - layout fixes, notably when using only 80 columns 16* Minor code cleanups. 17 18Changes in version 1.4.1 (01/2014): 19 20* Initial support for the MiniShogi variant, for now as a separate 21 executable built using "./configure --enable-minishogi". 22* Support for building without the curses UI. 23* Preliminary win32 support: can be built on cygwin with gcc3, in the 24 win32 directory. 25* Build system enhancements. 26* Bug fixes. 27 28Changes in version 1.4.0 (03/2012): 29 30* Main change is the license switch to GPL3. 31* Project is now being maintained on a git repository. 32* Bug fixes. 33 34Changes in version 1.3.2 (07/2004): 35 36* configure.in has been renamed to configure.ac 37 38* A number of small fixes were added to make the program compile and run 39 correctly on modern Linuxes. 40 41 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. 46 47 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. 73 74 75This file starts with GNU Shogi 1.3 (07/01/1999). 76
