GNU Shogi, release 1.4.0
------------------------

This is release 1.4.0 of GNU shogi, a program which plays shogi (Japanese
chess), as well as xshogi, the graphical interface to GNU shogi.  GNU shogi
and xshogi were originally written by Matthias Mutz (mutz@fmi.uni-passau.de),
have been maintained by Mike Vanier (mvanier@bbb.caltech.edu) and are now maintained
by Luis Felipe Strano Moraes (luis.strano@gmail.com). GNU shogi was in turn based on 
GNU Chess 4.0, i.e. the first version of GNU Shogi was obtained by "simply" modifying
the chess-specific parts of GNU Chess 4.0.
We would like to thank the authors of GNU Chess 4.0 for making the sources of
that program available.

See the file NEWS for the new features of this release.

For the installation procedure read the file "INSTALL".  For more information
on shogi please look at the files in the doc directory or read the info file.

Please email bugs, comments, suggestions, and wish lists regarding GNU shogi
to me.  And enjoy the program :-)
