[Tuxmath-devel] Impending Tux Math 2.0.0 release

[David B. <dav...@gm...>]

Hi,

I think t4k_common-0.1.1 is ready for release, and tuxmath 2.0.0 (as I
finally decided to number it) is very close. The "new-art" images look
great, and the first set has been merged into master.  The windows
crossbuild builds correctly and AFAICT works fine, including network
play.

One remaining and fairly obvious issue is that the "Factors" variant
of Factoroids is unplayably broken  I think we should leave out that
menu entry for the time being.

Also, I have discovered that tuxmath now segfaults if started on a
machine without a working sound system (such as the current status of
my main home Debian Sid desktop, which got somewhat borked in a big
apt-get upgrade last weekend).  This happens even if started as
"tuxmath --nosound".  Also, the "--nosound" option no longer turns off
the sound, anyway.  From a quick test, tuxmath-1.8.0 runs without
crashing on the same machine.

I hope to have time tomorrow to post a release of t4k_common-0.1.1,
and "pre" or "rc" releases of tuxmath itself.  I'm planning on next
Monday (11 Apr) for the "official" release. If any translators out
there want to get last-minute updates of any new strings into the new
release, now is the time.

Best,

David
