GNU Chess release 6.2.0

Item posted by Antonio Ceballos <aceballos> on Sun 04 Jan 2015 10:59:48 AM UTC.

I am glad to announce the release of version 6.2.0 of GNU Chess.

GNU Chess is a chess-playing program. It can be used to play chess
against the computer on a terminal or, more commonly, as a chess engine
for graphical chess frontends.

This release includes the following features:

- "Tighter connection" with XBoard by means of an engine file and a
logo, as expected by XBoard (>= 4.6.0).
- A simple man page based on help2man.
- Some minor fixes.

We are very thankful to all contributions and all kind of feedback.

The home page can be found at the usual location:
http://www.gnu.org/software/chess/

You can get the compressed sources from a nearby mirror:
http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/chess/gnuchess-6.2.0.tar.gz

If automatic redirection fails, the list of mirrors is at:
http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html

Or if need be you can use the main GNU ftp server:
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/chess/gnuchess-6.2.0.tar.gz

The development source can be downloaded from the Subversion
repository at Savannah:
http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/chess

Bug reports, your kind contributions and any feedback are welcome.
