I am glad to announce the release of version 6.1.0 of GNU Chess. GNU Chess is a chess-playing program. It can be use 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 and bug fixes with respect to previous release 6.0.3: - Add support for package internationalization based on GNU gettext. - Include first translations provided by the Translation Team. - Graphic mode, a new board shape based on the unicode characters for chess. - pgnreplay command, similar to pgnload, with the capability of manually showing a saved game step by step and moving backwards. - Fix bug in setboard. - Avoid using 100% CPU in UCI mode. - Rename the small book.bin as smallbook.bin. I feel very thankful to all contributors for reporting bugs and providing patches. For the internationalization support based on GNU gettext, I have received very helpful advice from the coordinators of the Translation Project as well as a few translations from the Translation Teams.
