3.9.5 - July 29, 2013
=====================
Note for distributors:
We now recommend installing the HoiChess engine by default, instead of GNUChess
or Phalanx (or really anything else), in order to make the game actually
winnable for mortals. See the long-running Bug #475535 for more information on
why HoiChess is recommended. The Debian package has build patches, if needed.

- Fix keyboard shortcuts for New/Open/Save/Undo/Fullscreen
- Don't start new game if new game dialog is deleted
- 3D: bottom-right corner should be white
- Preferences: move "opposing player" to the top
- Side and difficulty selection should be insensitive in human vs. human games
- Update About dialog copyright notice
- Fix board numbering when Black is on bottom

- Add keyboard shortcuts for previous/next move
- 3D: improve alignment of file letters
- Autosave: always forget games after they are completed
