Version 5.00 is the current release. Version 5.00 shares no code with
versions 1.x through 4.x. The major motivation for this release is to
simplify chess code making it more pedantically accessible, use modern
data structures, make it easy to modify by less skilled programmers,
and increase understandability to non-programmer, skilled chess
experts.
will permit programmers to write games and other realtime interactive
applications that are 100% portable across a wide range of hardware and
operating systems.
for each of the continuation lines, rather than using backslashes to
continue a single, long definition. This makes it much easier to spot
pre-requisite packages and other dependencies.
