Hi,
We did not get many feedback on the 11.09RC1, let's assume everything is
perfect then, time for asking translators for an update.
The new release will be out the 15th of October, let me know if you need
more time.
Here are the release notes:
New Activities:
- A set of activities to discover the Braille system. They have been
made by Srishti Sethi this summer (part of the Gnome Summer of
Code):
- The history of Louis Braille
- Discover the Braille system
- Training using a funny game, like falling letters but with Braille
- Braille lotto to remember Braille numbers.
- click on letter uppercase: same as click on letter but with only upper
case.
Now the old activity 'click on letter' poposes only lower case.
Activity updates:
- erase activity: added new animals from picture by Adrien Grellier
and Claire Gegout from their Antarctic trip.
- shapegame activities: now we display the ok button when all shapes
are placed even with errors We also show a red cross indicating the
children errors. Thanks to Arnaud Limon for the suggestion. Fixed
a potential crash when a piece was overwritten by another in their
wrong position.
- Changed the combo locale system to display the language in their
textual form instead of their locale code. Maintain them sorted to
make it even easier to use. Now activites with locale configuration
use this feature.
- Mostly full rewrite of this activity to allow a specific
configuration per language and per user. Now this activity takes a
desktop formated file as input. It contains for each level the
questions and answers charaters to propose. This file can be edited
in the game through the config button, in this case a local data
file is save under the user's My GCompris folder and is reused. Now
for each country we must provide a data file, this is much better
than before where it was fully random and was not respecting the
natural difficulties of a language. If this file is missing we
create the level automatically from the alphabet (or from the
english one for Latin based alphabet) now display the text of the
question if we cannot play it for any reason which makes this
activity playable even if we don't have the voice set or the sound
is disabled. Also if one letter is missing from the voice set it
remains playable. Improved the graphism. based on an openclipart
image. Splitted click on letter in two activities, on with
lowercase one with uppercase as suggested by Sylvain Dechy.
- memory sound activity: the tux band background image with the bsd
devil is considered offensive in some country. Now the bsd devil
looks less like a devil and more like a red little boy.
- wordsgame activity: changed the text color of the falling words to
be back and white I found out that reading text in color other than
black and white is very hard.
- In login.py and tuxpaint, reactivated the config button that was
missing.
- memory activity: fixed several potential crash cases when the memory
was run with sound disabled.
- Now in the hangman, we display the name of the current language.
- Advanced color activity: fixed color names not to include _ when
composed of 2 names.
- Fixed the 2 click drag mode ( run it with gcompris -g 2clicks).
- findit: no more ask several times a missing answer at the end of the
level
- geo-country activity: added the italian country map with 3 sub
levels, north, central and south.
- bar: added the keyboard shortcut ctrl-b do hide/show the GCompris
control bar. Now when changing the level, the sound is played before
starting the activity in order not to flush the own activity sound.
- advanced_color: remade this activity based on the new findit engine.
- details-activity: Fixed the TajMahal level. References to images was
wrong.
Voices:
- New voice set for Thai by Thummarat Phromphing
- English voices: new recordset of our english voices by Julia
Wycherley with the help of Philip Morris.
Internal changes:
- core: added the option gcompris --test that runs all the activities
automatically in sequecnce. This is usefull only for test purpose.
Added the key shortcuts in the manual.
- core python plugin: added support for multi python dir path (must be
separated by :). Can be used useful in init_path.sh for example to
pass several directory, one with a plugin engine and one derivative.
- build: preparation for a port to GTK3. Now compiles with
CFLAGS+=-DGDK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED -DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
