** Announcing the release of XBoard and WinBoard, version 3.3 **

XBoard is a graphical chessboard for the X Window System that can serve as a
user interface for GNU Chess, for the Internet Chess Server (ICS), or for
electronic mail correspondence chess.  XBoard can also be used by itself.
It can read and write game files in PGN (portable game notation).

You can (either now or soon) get XBoard 3.3 by anonymous ftp from the chess
ftp server (ftp://caissa.onenet.net/pub/chess/X/xboard-3.3.pl0.tar.gz or
initially ftp://caissa.onenet.net/pub/chess/uploads/X/xboard-3.3.pl0.tar.gz),
or from GNU ftp sites (ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/xboard-3.3.pl0.tar.gz).

If you plan to use XBoard 3.3 with GNU Chess, get the current patch level of
GNU Chess 4.0 to go with it.  It is available from prep.ai.mit.edu and other
GNU ftp sites, in the same directory as XBoard.

WinBoard is a port of XBoard to the Microsoft Win32 programming interface.  It
runs on Windows NT and Windows 95.  Most of its functions do *not* work on
Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups 3.11, or other DOS-based versions of
Windows, not even with the Win32s package.  (It works only as a standalone
chessboard and PGN viewer/editor on the latter systems.)  WinBoard 3.3 is
available from the chess ftp server, in either zip or gzip format:
ftp://caissa.onenet.net/pub/chess/Win3/winboard-3.3.pl0.zip or
ftp://caissa.onenet.net/pub/chess/Win3/winboard-3.3.pl0.tar.gz.

Special thanks to Jochen Wiedmann (author of the AmyBoard port of XBoard to
the Amiga) for many contributions to this release.  Jochen is also releasing
AmyBoard 3.3 now or very soon.  Thanks also to Evan Welsh, for cmail updates.

=== Change highlights since the last release (3.2.pl2) ===

* Added game list feature on Load Game.  When you ask to load a game file
containing more than one game, you get a popup menu of the games in the file,
with information drawn from their PGN tags.

* Added EditTags.  Provides a popup window to edit the PGN tags on a game.

* Added AutoComment.  When this is on during an ICS game, any remarks made by
other players using kibitz, whisper, say, or tell are saved as comments on the
current move.

* Handles clock pause on FICS, and suppresses clocks in untimed FICS games.

* Added FIREWALLS section to man page, describing how to use XBoard to contact
ICS through a firewall.

* Added a texinfo file to the release, but not as the primary documentation.
It still needs some polishing.

* Changed configuration to use a config.h file instead of passing zillions
of -D options on the cc command line.

* Small improvements and bug fixes too numerous to list here.
