9 August 1995, version 3.3 of Xboard also had the Winboard port to Win32:

Version 3.4 of Winboard/Xboard had support for Crafty (1995):
=== Change highlights since the last XBoard release (3.4) ===

* Preliminary support for Bob Hyatt's chess program Crafty.  Currently
the only documentation for this is in the FAQ file, and a few things

KnightCap and Phalanx (Xboard engines) date from March, 1997.
