[Tuxpaint-users] Tux Paint 0.9.24 "release candidate 1" test builds available

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

A couple weeks ago, I posted source-code for what will become Tux Paint
0.9.24, and friends (Tux Paint Config. 0.0.15, and Tux Paint Stamps),
so that other volunteers in the project can produce test builds for the
various platforms we target:  Windows, Mac, etc.

Just today, I've posted some slightly updated source code, based on some
changes they needed included, as well as some last-minute updates to some of
the translations of Tux Paint's interface.

In the meantime, though, I realize I was in announcing the fact that
the test builds existed!

So, for those of you out here who'd be willing to play around with them,
you can find them on my FTP server, in the following locations:

 * Windows (XP, 2000, Vista, 7, 8, and 10)
   ftp://ftp.tuxpaint.org/unix/x/tuxpaint/testbuilds/win32/0.9.24-pre/

   * The "installer" (setup.exe-style) version of "Tux Paint"
   * I haven't confirmed, but I _believe_ it also includes "Tux Paint Config."
   * No new "Tux Paint Stamps" (but changes since Sept. 2018 have been minor)

 * macOS (10.12 Sierra, 10.13 High Sierra, 10.14 Mojave, and 10.15 Catalina)
   ftp://ftp.tuxpaint.org/unix/x/tuxpaint/testbuilds/macosx/0.9.24/

   * "Tux Paint" and "Tux Paint Config."
   * No new "Tux Paint Stamps" (but changes since Sept. 2018 have been minor)

 * Android
   ftp://ftp.tuxpaint.org/unix/x/tuxpaint/testbuilds/android/0.9.24-rc1-20200328-20200401/

   * "Tux Paint" only.  No "Stamps."
   * After installing you need to grant storage permissions to it
     (at least on Android lineage 14.1)


If you try them out, and notice any problems, please let us know!
(You can post back to this list, 'tuxpaint-users', or you can email me
directly.  If it seems appropriate, you could also post a bug report at
SourceForge; you'll need an account & to be logged in, though.
https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint/bugs/)

Thanks & enjoy!  Keep an eye out for other test builds (maybe),
and of course the final 0.9.24 & friends release!  Stay safe, too, everyone!
