Finally, it’s time to make a new release, we really have a lot of new feature that we are happy to share with you.

Your bug reports are welcome. GCompris is huge and we cannot run all the activities, it means there maybe obvious bugs like missing image in a certain activity but we are not aware of it, that why we need your feedback.

What’s new in 8.3:

  New click and draw and draw number activities by Olivier Ponchaut.
  New word processor activity (Bruno)
  Shapes type activities have been reworked by Miguel.
  By Miguel DE IZARRA, added a 2 player mode in connect4.
  Imported sounds from Tuxpaint. Many activities have now many audio effects taken from Tuxpaint.
  New activity by Miguel which replaces the scale activity by a dedicated one (instead of being shape game based).
