 Changelog for python-chess
 ==========================
 
+New in v0.25.0
+--------------
+
+New features:

+  eventually replace `chess.uci` and `chess.xboard`.
+
+Bugfixes:
+
+* Fixed race condition in LRU-cache of open Syzygy tables. The LRU-cache is
+  enabled by default (*max_fds*).
+* Fix deprecation warning and unclosed file in setup.py.
+  Thanks Mickaël Schoentgen.
+
+Changes:
+
+* `chess.pgn.read_game()` now ignores BOM at the start of the stream.
