[Felipe B. <be...@se...>]

eboard 0.6.0 is out, an can be downloaded from

http://eboard.sourceforge.net/download.html

or

ftp://ftp.seul.org/pub/chess/eboard/eboard-0.6.0.tar.gz

Piece dragging responsiveness should be better, and now eboards supports 
starting an engine from an arbitrary position.

Changelog since 0.5.2:

0.6.0

  * [all]  The crazyhouse stock will now be shown in the same
           pieceset used for playing. The non-black background
           was needed to prevent all-black pieces from
           disappearing. Pieces will appear the same size
           as they are used on the board, and there may be 
           overlapping. The real click target region is
           delimited by the darker vertical lines.

  * [all]  added Makefile.simple, a Makefile totally independent
           of automake, to ease the life of people trying to
           compile eboard on unexplored platforms. The INSTALL
           has some hints about it.

  * [all]  scratch boards can be set up from a FEN string.

  * [eng]  engines can be started from arbitrary positions
           (from a scratch board)

  * [all]  faster (more responsive) piece dragging

  * [sjen] the variant is now correctly saved in the engine
           bookmark.

  * [all]  compatibility fix for compilation on Solaris
           (strings.h header)
