Hi,
The new release won't show up in Ubuntu until we get it packaged and
added to Debian Sid, then it should appear in the Ubuntu release after
that.

You probably are getting them from some place other than the official Ubuntu repos in your /etc/apt/sources.list. It's not an "upstream" issue. David |

The only problem I see with Alioth is the website certificate. It's been quite some time and they haven't tried to address this issue. This surely scares away a lot of users. Though, completely shifting may not be a good option, we could redirect it to sourceforge.net / github (if we decide to go with it) . Also I found that there is a bugtracker setup on Sourceforge too, but I think it's neglected till now. We can start using it actively instead of a new one.

Hi, FYI, anyone who wishes to become a collaborator on the github project can e-Mail me their github user-id. I'll try and keep the github version up-to-date, but I'm afraid that that is something that I simply can't insure, so for now, it's more of a trial run. IMHO, a *proper* bug tracker * will* increase productivity and will let us deal with bug reports in a better way. Another great feature that GitHub offers is a wiki, so it'd be great if someone could come forward and document the basic build-install procedure, and the instructions for the game, etc. (You need to be a collaborator for that.) The website, on the other hand, does not need to change. We *could* change it and use GitHub Pages, though that only offers one significant advantage that I can think of - the site is directly displayed from a git repository.

Hello everyone, Aviral is quite strongly convinced that github offers significant advantages over our current Alioth hosting, and has taken the initiative to set up a project there for tuxmath. He has opened a bug/issue tracker for us to try out: https://github.com/aviraldg/tuxmath/issues I'm all for investigating various options, and github does seem to be quite nice. However, Alioth also has a bug tracker that we have simply never used, and SourceForge (where we still have a valid account) also offers quite comprehensive OSS hosting services. I'm not yet convinced that a "change of venue", so to speak, will in itself make a lasting difference in Tux4Kids' productivity. So, I would encourage everyone to check out github, but don't get the idea that there has been any decision to abandon Alioth. Keep in mind that it has taken ~2-3 years to get Google searches for tuxmath and tuxtype to reliably direct people to our current Alioth site. If we should decide to move, we can't exactly take "http://tux4kids.alioth.debian.org" with us, although I suspect we could simply forward it. For me to want to change our hosting, I'd need convincing evidence that it would offer substantial advantages beyond what we would gain by simply making full use of the resources at Alioth. Best, David |

Also - We still have functioning Sourceforge accounts for tuxmath and tuxtype, and SF.net has been pretty seriously upgraded recently. If we decide that Alioth doesn't meet our needs (and I'm not convinced of that as of yet), maybe we should just use SF rather than adding a third hosting site into the mix. Best, David |

Hi, 1. Fixed the two typos (in tuxmath.php and the sf link in index.php) 2. I'm all for the bug tracker, if someone wants to work on getting it going. On Mon, Apr 18, 2011 at 4:58 PM, Aviral Dasgupta <avi...@gm...> wrote: > Can we pleeeease move to github? > Regards, > Aviral For everything? Or just public website, or download site, or git repos (and of course the bug tracker)? I'm not eager to move everything without some pretty compelling reasons. We certainly can make better use of the features offered by Alioth than we have done so far. Regards, David |

Additionally, the Sourceforge.net hyperlink in the latest news, on the http://tux4kids.alioth.debian.org/ page is faulty, it needs to be corrected. Presently it points to % 22sourceforge.net/projects/tuxmath"/.

To bad I'm still having problems compiling the common lib for Tux4kids, I'll try to take a look at it again tomorrow and keep you informed on the problems at the moment for Haiku, would be nice to see a new version available again.

Hi, TuxMath-2.0.0 is now officially released on both Alioth and SourceForge, as source code and a win32 binary. For the first time, all files are accompanied by GPG signature files as well as md5 and sha1 hashes. I go on vacation for a week starting Tuesday, but after that I plan to try to get the MacPorts build updated, hopefully with generation of a dmg this time. We also need to get the OpenSUSE build service packages updated, for the RPM users out there. For any issues that crop up soon, we can make a 2.0.1 release in a few weeks. After that, TuxType needs some attention! David Bruce |

Hi, After a lot of hacking and testing in the last few days, I think the remaining issues have been sufficiently fixed to release tuxmath-2.0.0 for both linux (source) and win32. I've posted these packages as "tuxmath-2.0.0-pre1" on our Alioth site. If they look OK after a few folks besides me have tested them, I will officially release them without the "-pre1", and with the various GPG checksum and signature files. Best, David Bruce |

After some more testing with the windows build, it appears it really isn't ready for general consumption, although the Linux build seems ready. I'm seeing two main problems with the windows build: 1. In LAN play, there are too many dropped questions, i.e. when the server sends a question, but for some reason it doesn't appear on the client's screen. This leads to a sort of deadlock where the client is waiting for another question, and the server is waiting for an answer. This used to happen all the time when we were first getting the LAN game implemented. I thought I had eliminated this problem, and haven't seen it recently in Linux, but there must still be some sort of race condition allowing this to occur. 2. When using mouse control for the new Factoroids, the "game" ends unexpectedly after a few seconds, taking the player to the high score name entry. So something is causing the main game loop to exit, probably some error condition related to the mouse. Also, the mouse sensitivity seems insanely high in the windows build. So, I think I'll make a source-only 2.0.0 release, and hold off on a win32 binary until 2.0.1 (i.e. when we get the above problems fixed). Also, if I have a 2.0.0 source release posted, I can start working on updating tuxmath in MacPorts. Also, I'm trying to get t4k_common included upstream in mingw-cross-env, so that those who want prepare a crossbuild setup just have to install mingw-cross-env and type "make t4k_common". Once that is done, go to tuxmath's buildw32/ directory and run "./tmwin.sh". I want to make it really easy for members of our team to create win32 packages for testing. Best, David |

Hi Tasos, > Sorry to post here, but I couldn't find a bugtracker. No prob, this is the right place to post as we (I) have never gotten around to setting up a proper bug tracking system. > tuxmath 1.9.0 segfaults at startup with t4k_common 0.1.1 with the > following message: We didn't test t4k_common with tuxmath-1.9.0, only with the current tuxmath in git (soon to be 2.0.0), but I guess we should have. In principle, t4k_common-0.1.1 ought to be backwards-compatible, but I guess it isn't. It is still a bit of a work in progress. > (process:14945): Pango-WARNING **: Invalid UTF-8 string passed to > pango_layout_set_text() > Segmentation fault > I created (hopefully correct) a stack trace here: > http://pastebin.com/P77CJd4z Without going through the code, it looks like it may be a divide-by-zero error. The t4k_menu system calculates a preferred font size based on the screen resolution and the length of the strings to be displayed, so it might not handle an empty string safely. Looks like something that can be addressed to make it more robust. Thanks, David Bruce |

Hello, Sorry to post here, but I couldn't find a bugtracker. tuxmath 1.9.0 segfaults at startup with t4k_common 0.1.1 with the following message: (process:14945): Pango-WARNING **: Invalid UTF-8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text() Segmentation fault I created (hopefully correct) a stack trace here: http://pastebin.com/P77CJd4z Tell me if you need more information.

Hi, I've released the latest update of the t4k_common library on Alioth (0.1.1). The new release of TuxMath will require this library. Highlights: - fix (again) of a problem in t4k_common preventing gettext from working - fix of T4K_BlackOutline() - text wrapping in new "tooltips" feature - fix of some errors in t4k_common.pc.in causing linkage to libs that aren't really needed. I'm trying to be a good citizen by providing various checksum and GPG signature files alongside the tarball itself. TuxMath 2.0.0 should follow in the next day or two. Best, David |

My initial idea is to create dependencies between the topics, like multiplication requires knowledge of addition; but on a more *granular *basis by making distinction between different types of multiplication, based on the digits in the answer, the digits in the operands, and also the position of the operands. > Another thing you should know about is the tux4kids-admin project, which is > designed to build infrastructure for teachers to use tux4kids in more of a > "lesson" environment.

Imo, my idea would relate to this module by allowing assessment of student's performance in a more accurate manner.
