Announcing XBoard 3.0, patchlevel 9.  This is a repeat announcement,
posted because there was a delay in placing the file on the GNU ftp
sites. 

XBoard is a graphical chessboard that can serve as a user interface
for GNU Chess or the Internet Chess Server, or can be used by itself.

* Available now on prep.ai.mit.edu via anonymous ftp in the file
pub/gnu/xboard-3.0.pl9.tar.gz.  Also available on chess.uoknor.edu and
ftp.x.org.

* Patchlevel 9 is a minor update to the previously released version of
XBoard 3.0 (patchlevel 8).  New features:

  - Loosened checking on whether it's okay to start a move, to satisfy
  ICS ultra-blitz players.  Now we don't check whether it's your turn
  until you let go of the piece.

  - Minor bug fixes.

  - Added more information to the INSTALL file.

* Known bugs:  

  - Few.  See the man page and the ToDo file in the distribution.

* Report bugs and suggestions to bug-gnu-chess@prep.ai.mit.edu
