Two years after last version, ChessX 0.6 is now out! You will find lots of bugfixes, including improvements to the PGN parser and various usability tweaks. Among the new features added, it is now possible to display/edit comments and create/save PGN databases.

ChessX code is currently undergoing a major cleanup. Several long-standing bugs have been solved and some other minor issues are under investigation. In this occasion, a symbolic milestone has been reached: the 100th bug report in the Tracker system of Sourceforge has been closed. ChessX release 0.6 is getting a bit closer.

ChessX is about to be deeply changed. The plan is to separate completely the core functionalities and the graphical user interface. The core part will be rewritten using Qt and SQLite. Most of the data will be kept internally as SQL tables and exported in SQLite databases. This will result in a more modular code that can also be easily used in other programs. At the same time, all database searches will be more straightforward to implement.
