New WinBoard installer
     posted by mann, Thu 14 Jun 2007 06:50:57 AM UTC - 0 replies

A new self-installer for WinBoard 4.2.7 is now available at http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/winboard/winboard-4_2_7b.exe. This installer is reported to work on Vista and should also work more smoothly than the old one on other versions of Windows. Thanks to Mark Ioli for putting it together! (And my apologies for not making it available much sooner.)

fselch chess font source available
     posted by mann, Mon 28 Mar 2005 06:58:44 AM UTC - 0 replies

I occasionally get requests for the Metafont source code of the fselch chess font, from which XBoard's piece bitmaps are made. fselch is a separate GPL'ed work created by Elmar Bartel, but it has no web site, ftp site, or Savannah project of its own, so I've checked a copy into XBoard's CVS repository to make it easier to obtain. See http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/xboard/fselch/

Source available in CVS
     posted by mann, Tue 28 Oct 2003 03:52:21 AM UTC - 0 replies

I've combined the xboard and WinBoard 4.2.6 source distributions and checked them into the project's CVS repository. I've also checked in all the changes that I've made since 4.2.6 came out. This should be very close to what I plan to release as 4.2.7, and I will keep it up to date. So if you'd like to do some xboard/WinBoard development, please start with the version in CVS.

Developers wanted

I've started a Savannah project for XBoard/WinBoard. My plan is to copy the sources off my home machine, where they currently live under RCS, into the CVS repository on Savannah. This should enable others to join the project and integrate their ...
