Recent releases
- 14 Feb 2008 13:51
Changes: The color mosaic activity was crashing when a target button was clicked.
- 12 Feb 2008 23:16
Changes: 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.
- 30 Oct 2007 02:48
Changes: 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.
- 09 Sep 2007 08:58
Changes: Major strucural changes, packagers please take care: sdl_mixer has been replaced by gstreamer.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.

Changes: 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.

Just an idea: how about to build in the ability to play music CDs while the program is running? For example, there could simply be buttons "play" and "stop" in the panel.

Please, check the latest version. There is an amazing intro music and now several boards do have speaken voice for letters, numbers, colors, and concratulations.
These voices are available for english, french, spanish and german.
gcompris (great!)
This project is just fantastic! And according to my daughter (she got started with gcompris when she was 3 - now 4!) it lacks just ONE thing!
Backgroung music!
She's always asking me:"Where's the music?"
It's difficult to grab their (the kids) without music!
TKS for this great job!
