** Announcing the release of XBoard version 3.1 **

XBoard is a graphical chessboard 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.

You can (either now or soon) get XBoard 3.1 by anonymous ftp from the chess
ftp server chess.uoknor.edu, from prep.ai.mit.edu (and other GNU ftp sites),
or from export.x.org (and other X ftp sites).

If you plan to use XBoard 3.1 with GNU Chess, get GNU Chess 4.0 patchlevel 70
to go with it.  It is available from prep.ai.mit.edu (and other GNU ftp
sites), or from chess.uoknor.edu.

** XBoard change highlights since the last release (3.0.pl9) **

- Works correctly with "examine" mode on the ICS.

- Quiet Play mode automatically turns off shouts while you are playing on ICS.

- The cmail program (for electronic mail correspondence chess) is much
improved.  Try it!  Thanks to Evan Welsh for this program.

- Games are now saved in PGN (portable game notation), and any PGN game can be
loaded.  (Parenthesized variations are treated as comments, however.)  Games
can still be saved and loaded in XBoard's old save style, too.

- Positions are now saved in FEN (Forsythe-Edwards notation), and of course
FEN positions can be loaded.  Positions can still be saved and loaded in
XBoard's old save style, too.

- A new Move Now command is added for use with GNU Chess.

- Smaller bug fixes and improvements too numerous to list.

- Improved instructions for building and installation.
