[Tuxpaint-devel] Tux Paint 0.9.18 status

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

For those curious, here's the current status of Tux Paint 0.9.18...

* I'm hoping a friend came make a few sfx for some of the new Magic Tools
  that lack any sounds

* Win32 status, per John Popplewell:
  + Magic Tool plugins/DLLs working.
  + It's likely that Win2K/XP/Vista will be full-featured, but
    Win95/98/ME will have older SVG libs and no Pango support
    (he's had issues with GLib and friends on those older platforms).
    I'm fine with that...
  + Hoping to use SDL 1.2.12 and friends, but he's only got SDL going so far,
    not support libs (SDL_image, SDL_mixer, etc.)
  + Likely to be looking at Tux Paint on Win32 again this weekend!

* Mac OS X status, per Martin Fuhrer:
  + Magic Tool plugins working on PPC, but not yet on Intel
    (due to issues with x86 gettext); asked an Intel-Mac-owning friend for
    assistance
  + Will be looking into SDL_Pango soon
  + Started looking at Tux Paint again a few days ago; will continue this week


I'm not 100% sure what, if anything, will need to change in Tux Paint source
and/or any of the platform-specific build files (Makefile, XCode stuff, etc.),
so I'm holding off on doing an official source release until John and Martin
get back to me on that...

In the meantime, I'll probably roll an rc1 (release candidate 1) some time
today.
