[Tuxpaint-users] Tux Paint 0.9.20 beta for Windows

[Bill K. <nb...@so...>]

John Popplewell has put together builds of what will soon become
Tux Paint 0.9.20, for people to beta-test.

This includes a new, separate release for older versions of Windows (95/98/ME),
which has slightly reduced functionality than the release for newer
versions of Windows (XP/2000/Vista).  (In other words, a few of the new
features -- such as vector-graphics-based Stamps support -- are disabled.)
This is, of course, better than not supporting older versions of Windows
at all! :^)

You can download the builds from here:

  ftp://ftp.tuxpaint.org/unix/x/tuxpaint/testbuilds/win32/

If you're running Windows, and have time to test this out, please do,
and let us know if you run across any problems.

The changes (so far) since 0.9.19 are listed here:

  http://tuxpaint.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/tuxpaint/tuxpaint/docs/CHANGES.txt?revision=1.557

(It's everything listed below "2008.June.17 (0.9.20)" and above
"2008.February.25 (0.9.19)", of course.)

The files are:

  * tuxpaint-0.9.20cvs-2008-06-17-win32-installer.exe
    Installer for newer Windows (XP, 2000, Vista)

  * tuxpaint-0.9.20cvs-2008-06-17-win32.zip

You'll want just two files.  Choose whether you want Installer or ZIP
versions of Tux Paint.  Then download the appropriate Tux Paint for your
version of Windows ('win9x' for old, 'win32' for new), and download
Tux Paint Stamps.

Once we make an official release, new Windows builds will be released,
and will be available from the website, as per usual!

Enjoy,
