We're pleased to announce GNU Typist 2.9. This release contains several new features, the most important of which is surely full UTF-8 support. Most GNU/Linux distributions now come with terminals set to use UTF-8. This should fix the configuration problems that non-US-ASCII users have been having.
This release also includes new lessons for the Colemak keyboard layout (more info about Colemak available at http://colemak.com/), the facility to track your personal best typing scores and several new translations. Changes in 2.9: - Full UTF-8 support, by Felix Natter <[email protected]> - New Colemak typing lessons, by Tim Marston <[email protected]> - Many new international lessons imported from KTouch 1.6 and update of the German tipptrainer 0.6.0 lesson - New Spanish manual from smc <[email protected]> - Tracking of personal best scores, by Tim Marston <[email protected]> - New Polish translation, by Jakub Bogusz <[email protected]> - New Turkish translation, by Gökçen Eraslan <[email protected]> - We are dropping support for the DJGPP compiler (DOS), although the MinGW GCC compiler is still supported.
