No, it has stopped

I don't think many people were happy with GNU Chess 5, plus there are so 
many other open source chess programs that there's little need for GNU Chess 
anymore.

http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/chess is the home place for it.  Or it used 
to be....

Last I heard, Cracraft (GNU Chess maintainer) was writing his own.  He shows 
up in the TalkChess forums, if you'd like to mention it there or talk about 
computer chess in general.

http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewforum.php?start=0&f=7&topic_view=flat 
( for programming & computer chess.)

I suppose you could post info about GNU Chess here and in the regular group, 
but I don't think much will come from it.  As I said, a lot of people 
weren't happy with GNU Chess 5.  It wasn an entirely new program and many 
people felt it was not a good example of a bitboard chess program, etc. etc.
