TuxType-1.5.15 - first release since 2004!

Tux Typing development is active again with the first SF.net release in over three years. The "official" home page (which is very rudimentary so far) is at:

http://tux4kids.alioth.debian.org.

The source repository is now housed at the Alioth/Debian Subversion site.

TuxType 1.5.15 has some user-visible upgrades, but mainly represents internal reworking to properly support UTF-8/Unicode. The first Indic language theme, Malayalam, is included. It should now be possible to add themes to support all of the world's major languages.

The Downloads page has the source code for TuxType 1.5.15 in a *tar.gz archive file, as well as an executable installer file for Windows. For users of Debian and its derivatives (e.g. Ubuntu), this version is now in Debian's "Sid/Unstable" branch. I hope to have rpm and deb packages available here in the near future.

Note - there is no current build of TuxTyping for MacOSX! If you have a Mac and would like to get involved, please contact tuxmath-devel@sourceforge.net

(that's not a typo - we use the tuxmath dev list for both tuxtype and tuxmath, at least for now).
