It will be out soon.  I am finishing up the changes for the new winboard
protocol version 2 support.

Other minor things:

1.  Now all evaluations that appear will be +=good for white, -=good for
black.  This includes the analysis window on xboard/winboard, the output in
the text window, the log files, the whisper/kibitz analysis, etc.  Should
avoid a lot of confusion.

2.  Minor changes to endgame evaluation to fix a few more holes, as well as
correct some drawn ending recognitions that were flawed in a few cases.  Minor
change to null-move in endings.

3. automatic recognition of the "trojan horse" position, and as a result,
the "S" list is gone.

4.  Other minor bug fixes, but the winboard support is the main significant
change overall.

Once it works reliably (I have a problem resuming an adjourned game when the
game is interrupted while crafty is on move) the new version will be available.
