All releases of GCompris / I Got IT
Release Notes: The hangman activity was added. The details activity was added. In the spirit of famous painting discovery, in this activity the painting is complete and the children must put painting parts on the right places. A shared whiteboard feature was added in the chat activity.
Release Notes: GCompris is almost 10 years old, and it required some deep code restructuring. The old, unmaintained gnome-canvas toolkit has been replaced with a modern Cairo-based toolkit named goocanvas. One good side effect is that GCompris can be used on big monitors and on smaller devices. Minor changes include the new graphism for the canal lock and water cycle activities, the new photo hunter activity, and more famous paintings. The animation activity allows editing previous frames at will with a timeline.
Release Notes: The color mosaic activity was crashing when a target button was clicked.
Release Notes: Many potential crashes in the key_press activity callback were fixed. The fallback directory was fixed for the English locale. The Canada region map was created for the geography country activity. There are now more than 10 voice file packages, and they are used by the algebra activity. In chess, the left lower corner square (a1 in algebraic notation) is now the dark color. Support for Urdu was added, including voices. Bulgarian voices were added.
Release Notes: A crash that happened when you clicked on an image once it is fully erased was fixed. In enumerate_create_item, a reference to a freed pixmap that could crash or display broken images in the buttons was fixed. A 'DeprecationWarning: integer argument expected, got float' message was fixed. The hack to force gnomecanvas symbols to not be stripped was fixed.
Release Notes: Major strucural changes, packagers please take care: sdl_mixer has been replaced by gstreamer. GCompris has been switched to the GPL v3 and later. Now all voices are in a separate SVN module. The voices must now be put under boards/voices/ instead of boards/sounds/. To get the voices installed in the proper place, simply run "make update-voices". Voices have been re-encoded in a lower bit rate, saving 40MB on the tarball. Internal static gnomecanvas and libart.
Release Notes: GCompris was asserting when you clicked on the target image in the missingletter activity. GCompris was unstable in Spanish and in any locale where there are no spoken congratulation. Even if they were present, audio congratulations were not played on Windows. All of these problems were fixed.
Release Notes: Tamil is properly added now. A broken build was fixed. Indian Hindi voices were created.
Release Notes: For Windows users, there is now a menu to start the administration mode of GCompris. There is a 30 second delay between startup instances of GCompris, whether admin or normal. There are minor fixes over BETA2 for GNU/Linux users.
Release Notes: A new activity: a mini word processor with styles. A new scale activity. A new chat activity on the local network. The submarine now has a goal. An improved sound effect when there are many activities. Display of children usage in the administration section.
