Version 8.4

Major strucural changes, packagers please take care:

  •  sdl_mixer replaced by gstreamer.
  •  Switched GCompris to GPL V3 and Later.
  •  Now all voices are in a separated 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
  •  Re-encoded voices in a lower bitrate, saving 40MB on the tarball
  •  Internal static gnomecanvas and libart

    Bugs fixed:

  •  Fixed "-l list" option to load the menu list from the base. Option was not working when boards are compiled statically.
  •  Now we don’t crash if we cannot find a single image at startup.
  •  Fixed a major bug, target activity is broken, the target never reach it’s goal.
  •  Moved the lock file checking downstairs in the startup sequence to avoid for exemple ’gcompris -v’ to being locked.
  •  missingletter: GCompris was asserting when you click on the target image
  •  Chronos activity: removed hardcoded translations
  •  doubleentry: fixed call to audio voices.
  •  algorithm: Fixed the skip of a level after the call to the help.
  •  shapegame:

    • Fixed bad reference to hand image to catch small icon
    • fixed, it was missing a X offset coming from the box of shapes on the left. It was mostly visible in the doubleentry activity where it was not easy to spot the target.
    • use the larger button for the tooltip (country name too large)
    • Translated The Text In Tooltip Were Invalid.
    • Removed text shadow as it isn’t always cute depending on the fonts.

  •  memory: space sound 2 was twice in the list. If they were both selected in the game, the children was proposed the same sound in 4 spot making the game bugged.
  •  login: fixed a little bug, in text entry mode it was not displayed again if you open/close the help.
  •  Fixed falling words for arabic
  •  The click on letter activity was only proposing the first 4 letters of the alphabet, whatever the level.
  •  Fixed running on machines which have / use prefix/lib64 instead of prefix/lib
  •  Fixed concerns releated to the fullscreen mode
  •  Fixed the gnuchess search path to accept gnome-gnuchess
  •  Major fix, GCompris was crashing if you clicked during bonus display

  •  Added Afrikaans support by Samuel Murray.
