I wasn't aware that any of the recent releases were crashing under
Linux, although I vaguely recall a problem with number display in the
Factoroids game in 2.0.0.  The 2.0.0 and 2.0.1 win32 builds were
unusably broken (my fault).

I can't read this thread - (login required - I registered just now but
have to be approved by a moderator).  For our purposes, it is better
to post the relevant info directly to this list.

Again, please tell us directly when tuxmath is crashing, and if you
still observe it with 2.0.3.

Here is a snippet from doc/changelog from the 2.0.3 tarball.  Note
that since we moved to git, the "real" changelog is generated by
running "git log" one's clone of the repository.  doc/changelog now
just has a very cursory summary for each tarball release.

doc/changelog snippet:
