Which bug you are talking about. I just checked the target activity
where the kid could just click ok and win without having send a single
dart. I check again, It's fixed. Please check again or tell me exactly
which bug you see remains.

No, there is always bugs in software, known or not. If we wait they are
all fixed before releasing, then no more releases of gcompris and of
many software will never be possible.

The strategy is to find a golden mean between the quality of code and
speed of releases.

To solve this, projects tends to create a stable and a development
branch. This ways 'advanced' users can still help you find bugs.
I don't feel the need for this and it requires a little more work.
Unless I get more support to fix bugs on gcompris, I won't create 2
branches.

Don't take it bad. I really appreciate the job you made by reporting
bugs. It's not always fun but this is very important and usefull for
gcompris. Please, continue.

Bruno.
