What's new

v14.0 [Jul 11, 2014]
Major fixes
- Exclude known symbol fonts from the font selector
- Now the python path separator is ';' on windows. Before that it was not possible to install GCompris on another disk drive on Windows (other than C:)
- Added missing timer images (the balloon) in the multiplication table activity.
Translation update
- Updated Russian translation
- Updated Greek translation
- Updated french translation
- Updated Norwegian translation

v12.0
Windows installer: fixed a potential directory erasing at uninstall or reinstall time. Properly erase all our files at unistallation time
Windows: updated the compilation chain for windows to compile against GTK 2.24
Desktop entry: Added the Education category
Compilation: Added ifdefs to compile with gdkpixbuf > 2.24 by Hans de Goede
Guessnumber: fixed a potential crash at exit time. Give focus on the entry box.
Braille fun: added audio feedback.
Braille alphabet: improved to audio play the letter to find
Baille lotto: fixed not to go back to the main menu at the end. Improved it a little bit the layour to accomodate with longer translated text. Added sound effects.
Shapegame: Fixed a random crash in shapegame activities that happened while dragging a piece. Minor, now clicking on the left/right image selector does not trig the ok check.
findit: Fixed to run on Windows 7
clockgame: the first levels now highlight the hour sectors to make them easier to recognize and to teach. (By Angelo Naselli)
Instruments activity: added a check for sound availability in the icon menu. Now the background music is muted when entering this activity.
Memory: minor fix in memory activity to fix their reference to their mandatory audio file. Without this, a little audio error does appear at run time in the activity icon.

v0.8 [Sep 2, 2017]
-This is a bugfix release to correct some issues in previous version. All GNU/Linux distributions shipping 0.80 should update to 0.81.
Also, we introduce a new "light" version that doesn't require OpenGL to run. This means that it should work on any computer. We provide some special windows packages using this option, and also the standalone installer for Linux 32bit is using this option. In this light version, the transparency gradient on the menu is gone, and we had to adapt a dozen of activities that will look a little different in this mode, but should still be usable.
