** Announcing the release of XBoard and WinBoard, version 4.0.7 **
A new release of both XBoard and WinBoard is now available. Version
4.0.7 fixes one bad bug in Internet Chess Server support that was
introduced in 4.0.6. Version 4.0.6 (released two days before 4.0.7)
was a larger bug-fix release, including over 20 fixes to various small
bugs and a couple of very minor new features. See the ChangeLog in
the distribution for details.
You can get both programs from my Chess page on the World Wide Web.
In addition, they should soon be available from GNU FTP sites.

XBoard is a graphical chessboard for the X Window System that can
serve as a user interface for GNU Chess, Crafty, and other chess
engines, for the Internet Chess Servers, and for electronic mail
correspondence chess. XBoard can also be used by itself. It can read
and write game files in PGN (portable game notation).
WinBoard is a similar program for Microsoft Windows 95/98 and Windows
NT. It includes all the major features of XBoard except email
correspondence chess. Warning: WinBoard does not work on Windows 3.1
or 3.11, not even with Win32s. It should work on Windows 2000, but I
have not tested it there.
Please report any apparent new bugs to me. Some known bugs and
deficiencies in previous versions have not been addressed. It is not
necessary to report your favorite bug again if you have reported it
before, unless the ChangeLog erroneously says it has been fixed. Most
known bugs, deficiencies, and suggestions received are now listed in
the ToDo file.
