Hi all,<br>
</p>
Some of you are aware that I have a new "day" job and I don't have
time anymore to be active on GCompris. So this release note is
important to me because it will also be my last one. From now on,
the releases will be handled by Johnny.<br>
<br>
As I cannot be active anymore, it would not make sense to continue
selling GCompris. After investigating several options and in
accordance with the most active members in our community, I decided
to transfer the business operation to Timothée Giet. Timothée is a
graphic artist with a long list of
contributions on GCompris and in the KDE community. For
now, all sales go to Timothée and he is in charge of the commercial
support. There are no changes in the licensing nor in the
development
process which is still under the responsibility of the KDE
community (Johnny Jazeix being the most active contributor).
<p>Concerning the release notes, the new activities are:</p>
<div class="newscontent">
<li class="puce">A simple wordprocessor (baby_word_processor by
Bruno
Coudoin), this activity is not available on mobile platforms due
to
issues with the virtual keyboard: if we only use the real
keyboard,
styles don't apply and if we only use the virtual keyboard, we
can't
navigate in the text, select it...</li>
<li class="puce">A tangram (by Bruno Coudoin). It starts with
children
friendly levels to introduce each concepts little by little and
end up
in the real tangram.</li>
<li class="puce">Explore the monuments of the world
(explore_monuments
by Ayush Agrawal during SoK).</li>
<li class="puce">An activity in which the children must color a
graph
so that no two adjacent nodes have the same color
(graph_coloring by
Akshat Tandon during SoK).</li>
<li class="puce">Pilot the spaceship towards the green landing
area
(land_safe by Holger Kaelberer).</li>
<li class="puce">Find the differences between the two pictures
(photo_hunter by Stefan Toncu).</li>
<p>Timothée Giet updated images for chess, hangman and
horizontal/vertical reading activities along with the gcompris
logo.</p>
<p>Lots of little fixes/improvements have been done (storing and
restoring the window's width/height at start-up, docbook
updated,
levels/images bonus, adding an internal dataset for words games
so
that we no more expect the network to run GCompris (except for
the
voices but they also can be bundled in the binary).</p>
<p>On translation side, we have 17 languages fully supported:
Belarusian, British English, Brazilian Portuguese, Catalan,
Catalan
(Valencian), Chinese Simplified, Dutch, French, Galician,
Italian,
Norwegian Nynorsk, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish,
Swedish,
Ukrainian and some partially: Breton (88%), Chinese Traditional
(97%),
Estonian (82%), Finnish (74%), German (93%), Russian (83%),
Slovak
(76%), Slovenian (82%), Turkish (82%)</p>
