It is worth mentioning that new features were added to
gnugo.el in gnugo-3.7.2. They are relevant to anyone working
on the engine. Among the new features is a regression view
mode, an optional grid display, and the ability to scroll
forward and backward through the moves of a game.

You can also access the dragon data array, identify
dragons graphically by making them flash and issue
gtp commands. (These features were already in
gnugo.el since GNU Go 3.6).
