November XX, 2005, Mountain View, California -- On Fooday, New Breed
Software released Tux Paint 0.9.15, adding new features, new translations,
and numerous other improvements to the Open Source drawing program for
young children.  The product, along with an expanded collection of add-on
"stamps," will be released simultaneously for multiple operating systems,
including Linux, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows.

Tux Paint 0.9.15 was developed over the past year by a global community
of independant programmers.  With the arrival of Albanian, Estonian,
Gaelic, Galician, Gronings, Kinyarwanda, Mexican Spanish, Swahili, Thai,
and Urkanian translators to the project, the latest release has been
localized to over 55 languages.

Tux Paint 0.9.15 introduces new "Magic" drawing tools, including a smudge
tool, brushes that draw grass and bricks, and a brush that turns realistic
images into cartoons.

Tux Paint 0.9.15 also offers a number of improvements on previous
versions, including updates to the "Text" and "Stamp" tool interfaces,
improvements to the color palette, and support for a wider range of
display sizes -- from 640x480 to 1600x1200.  Additionally, the font and
stamp loading routines have been streamlined, greatly reducing both
startup time and memory usage.

Tux Paint runs natively on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, NetBSD and
BeOS.  It can be downloaded free of charge from New Breed Software at
