A new version of GNU Chess is now on prep.ai.mit.edu.
It is gnuchess-4.0.pl69.tar.gz. The format is gnu-zipped and tarred.

Improvements/technological-advances are as follows:
  o Faster search.
  o New transition table and hashing routines from Dan Oetting.
  o New transition table and hashing logic in search.
  o Many search and eval fixes from Kong Sian.
  o all the signed char/char definitions are now typedefs with
    the default char if you want signed char's compile with -DSIGNCHAR
  o endgame draw/win logic is at last correct (or so we wish!)
  o Overall integration by Mike McGann.

Operational Changes:
  o you must regenerate the binary book file with the new hashing logic.
    Old gnuchess.data files will not work.
  o the 'post' command is now split to post/unpost rather than toggling it.

Enjoy and have a happy chess-Easter/Passover.
