address@hidden GNU Status Reports: January 2011
+
+Revival of GNU Status Reports from the historical @cite{GNU's
+Bulletins}, @url{http://www.gnu.org/bulletins}.  The goal is to
+provide GNU-wide news and information from time to time.
+
+See also @url{http://planet.gnu.org}, which aggregates the GNU news
+items posted on Savannah (@url{http://savannah.gnu.org}).
+
+See also the @email{info-gnu@@gnu.org} mailing list, where
+announcements of new GNU releases are posted.  (Subscribe or view the
+archives at @url{http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnu}).
+
+The aim of the present report is to be somewhat higher-level and more
+general than the others, although there is clearly some overlap.

-Gawk has been seeing lots of progress recently.  A major new release
-is in the works and should be ready within a few more months.  New
-stuff includes:
-
-- New internals, providing along with them a debugger!
-- Built-in file inclusion
-- Indirect function calls
-- BEGINFILE and ENDFILE patterns
-- FPAT variable for content-based field splitting
-- IPv6 support
-- Arrays of arrays
-- LOTS of code cleanup and doc clean up too
-- Other features / changes, see NEWS in the git repo
-- Moved to GIT from CVS.

-I'm working to rewrite GNUtrition in C with SQLite instead of
-depending on an external SQL server, a modern UI, and some extra
-features. I plan to unveil the new version at LibrePlanet in March.
-
-The food database is being upgraded. The current version of GNUtrition
-uses a very old version (from 1999) so it's time to upgrade. This
-means more information on more foods (I think it's over 2,000 new food
-items).

-Over the last year XBoard/Winboard development has seen three new
-releases fixing lots of bugs and including many new features with
-another major release just around the corner. We now support many more
-variations of chess (xiangqi, shogi, makruk, as well as better support
-for variations like crazyhouse, bughouse and many more). Also the
-support for computer chess has been improved.
-
-An ongoing effort is to merge the code of XBoard and Winboard back into
-one code base and adapt it to use GTK for the GUI front end. If you are
-interested in this and are willing to help, feel free to contact us at
address@hidden We can always need more help ;)  You can of course
-also contact us to discuss other issues/ideas for XBoard/Winboard.
