Re: [Tuxpaint-i18n] Tux Paint 0.9.29 coming soon

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

Beta versions of Tux Paint 0.9.29 are now available for
Windows, macOS, Android, RHEL Linux, and Haiku, for those
who want to poke around and see what's new.

We'll soon be releasing the final version of 0.9.29, so please
get translations sent in soon, so I can get them included.

I think 0.9.30 will be close on the heels of this version, as
I have a few Big Ideas (tm) that I wanted to work on... but I didn't
want to hold up the current release, since there's so much new
stuff in it already.  (I keep teasing glimpses of it on social media,
and our followers were champing at the bit to get ahold of the new
features. ;-) )

Thanks in advance,

-bill!
PS - I may take a moment to email localization contributors
personally, since I don't actually know how many are subscribed
to this list (and SourceForge's mailing list system makes it
impossible for anyone -- even project admins -- to actually see
who is subscribed :-( ).  So apologies if you hear from me again;
I don't mean to nag.  I just don't want anyone to miss out. :-)
