Hello !

First, wb426-dm-beta3 was my extensions series for winboard.
It _only_ for winboard and included a lot of stuff around automatic analyze and
ICS.
There is no UCI-Support included. I don't continue the development for this
series, because i'm now offical member/developer of the real winboard/xboard
hosted on
http://http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/xboard.

UCI-Support:

Yes, thats true and i wrote this in 2003 that i want added _native_ UCI support
to winboard and xboard. The Problem was/is that i had not enought time to
complete this job. I have the uci core ready and shredder8 runs without any
problem on my system. But the code is not completly ready. If the code is ready
i will push it to our CVS server on savannah.gnu.org.

Native UCI means you don't need any adapter to run UCI engines. All options and
features will be direct supported by x/winboard in the future.
