DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT

New Breed Software on Fooday 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 "stamp" imagery, will be
simultaneously released for a range of 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, the latest release has been localized to over 55
languages.

Also new to the application are additional "Magic" drawing tools, including
a smudge tool, brushes that draw grass and bricks, and a brush that turns
realistic images into cartoons.  The "Text" and "Stamp" tools have received
updates to their interfaces, and the color palette has been improved.

Tux Paint has also received updates to the font and stamp loading routines,
greatly reducing both startup time and memory usage, and support has been
added for a wider range of display sizes -- from 640x480 to 1600x1200.

Tux Paint runs natively on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, NetBSD and
BeOS.  It can be downloaded for free from New Breed Software's website:

Unfortunately, at this point, no, but I'm hoping to be able to work on it
after Tux Paint 0.9.15 is released!

Very good. I would only remove the second to last paragraph, or maybe include 
less of the information in another paragraph.

Hrm, that's getting a bit repetitive.  I'll change one
to "The new release...", e.g.:

  "The new release also offers a number of improvements..."
