I have some difficulties to track down the first release and release number of the pychess engine integrated in the pychess gui.
It seems the built in original engine at least came much later than the first GUI releases.
(History of GUI releases goes back to 2006 or even earlier! => https://sites.google.com/site/pychess/
newer ones since 2010 here => http://pychess.org/news/)
AFAIK the first mentioning here was in the thread below:

Thanks for any infos!

We never created official standalone engine releases from PyChess, but it's possible to create a standalone file with https://github.com/pychess/pychess/blob ... -engine.sh
It's a python executable zip, so you have to have an installed python to let it run.
For example if you have pypy installed you can run this with: pypy pychess-engine
If you have python3 installed: python3 pychess-engine

Thanks Bajusz. Was that 0.4 version already XB compatible? If notgbtami wrote:

which version started to have XB support and when was it released?

It wasn't. The first version supporting XB was 0.6 at 2007.02.08.Guenther wrote:Thanks Bajusz. Was that 0.4 version already XB compatible? If notgbtami wrote:
