1 GNU Shogi, release 1.5pre
2 -------------------------
4 This is an unreleased pre-1.5 snapshot of GNU shogi, a program which plays shogi
5 (Japanese chess), as well as xshogi, the graphical interface to GNU
8 GNU shogi and xshogi were originally written by Matthias Mutz
9 <mutz@fmi.uni-passau.de>, have been maintained by Mike Vanier
10 <mvanier@bbb.caltech.edu> in the 1.3.x era, by Luis Felipe Strano
11 Moraes <luis.strano@gmail.com> until 1.4.0, and are now maintained by
12 Yann Dirson <ydirson@free.fr>. GNU shogi was in turn based on GNU
13 Chess 4.0, i.e. the first version of GNU Shogi was obtained by
14 "simply" modifying the chess-specific parts of GNU Chess 4.0. We
15 would like to thank the authors of GNU Chess 4.0 for making the
16 sources of that program available.
18 See the file NEWS for the new features of this release.
20 For the installation procedure read the file "INSTALL". For more information
21 on shogi please look at the files in the doc directory or read the info file.
23 The project is maintained at https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnushogi/
24 where you will find pointers to the bug tracker, mailing lists, git
25 repository for the source code, etc.
27 The prefered way to contribute patches is through "git send-email" to
28 the gnushogi-devel mailing-list. You may also wish to publish them in
29 a public repository; the repo.or.cz Free-Software-based platform
30 allows you to do that easily, as a fork of
31 http://repo.or.cz/w/gnushogi.git.
