The most important difference is a fix for a critical bug in the Windows
version. On other platforms there is nothing really significant.

Does Help / About GNU Backgammon / Build Info shows : "libcanberra sound
system supported" in its list of features ? In principle it could be
another sound system but on Ubuntu it is almost certainly canberra.
If this is not the case you don't have the needed development packages
installed. There is no glaring error message at build time, only a :
"checking for CANBERRA... no" instead of "checking for CANBERRA... yes"
in the output of the configure command and then GNUbg is built without
sound support.
On Ubuntu 19.10 I have :
libcanberra-dev
libcanberra-gtk-common-dev
libcanberra-gtk-dev
It was probably the same with 18.04 and installing the third one should
pull the other two as dependencies.
There is a short explanation about the prerequisites in the INSTALL
file, but it's difficult to be specific about the packages names there
since they vary from distribution to distribution.
