All library names listed by *.la files no longer need to be listed
in the PLIST, e.g., instead of:
lib/libfoo.a
lib/libfoo.la
lib/libfoo.so
lib/libfoo.so.0
lib/libfoo.so.0.1
one simply needs:
lib/libfoo.la
and bsd.pkg.mk will automatically ensure that the additional library
names are listed in the installed package +CONTENTS file.
Also make LIBTOOLIZE_PLIST default to "yes".
gnome-games 2.8.0
=================
This is the first stable release of the 2.8 series. It should compile
happily in a GNOME 2.6 or GNOME 2.8 environment although a recent
librsvg is recommended.
*** Important ***
A lot of the themes and graphics have been moved to a
new, less frequently updated, package called gnome-games-extra-data.
You can get it from:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-games-extra-data/2.8/
The main gnome-games package still contains everything you need to
play, including the default themes.
Also:
- The backgrounds for gnometris are now set by drag and drop. You are
expected to use your own images for this, the old backgrounds are no
longer shipped as part of the gnome-games package, but can be found in
the gnome-games-extra-data package. The "Backgrounds and Emblems" menu
option from the nautilus file browser is also good place to start.
- The more detailed SVG themes for the card games will be slow to
redraw if you change the window size on anything but a fast machine. Be
patient. Playing the game is fine regardless of computer speed.
People who contribute to this release, in no particular order, are:
Callum McKenzie
Richard Hoelscher
Paolo Borelli
Jon McCann
Andreas Røsdal
Ryan Stutsman
Matthew V. Ball
Angela Boyle
Aaron Schlaegel
Sjoerd Langkemper
Theo van Klaveren
Bevan Collins
Rexford Newbould
Trevor Hamm

gnome-games 2.7.8
=================
This release is ready for the code-freeze. It contains only
bug-fixes. One more release with documentation updates and any
emergency bug-fixes can be expected before 2.8.0.
Remember that your favorite themes may have been moved to the
gnome-games-extra-data package. This is still at version 2.7.0, so if
you obtained it for the 2.7.7 gnome-games release you do not have to
download it again (for details see the 2.7.7 release notes below).
Bug fixes:
Aisleriot:
- Right click now works after window enlargement.
- The translation of the game-specific help menu item is fixed.
- --variation (and the freecell desktop file) now works for non-english
locales.
- Documentation for one and two-suit spider.
Blackjack:
- The payout for winning with a blackjack is now documented.
- The SVG chip images have been cleaned up and should work with most
versions of librsvg.
Four-in-a-row:
- "No or child" bug on x86_64 has been fixed.
Gnometris:
- Fixed a crasher on x86_64 machines.
Mahjongg:
- Cut down on unnecessary redraws while resizing.
Mines:
- Stop the face image being clipped.
- Fix the sanity-checking code.
gnome-games 2.7.7
=================
*** ATTENTION ***
A lot of the themes have been split into a separate package called
gnome-games-extra-data. The core package now contains only a minimum
amount of graphics, it is still functional, but your favourite themes
may not be there. You can get the missing themes back by installing the
gnome-games-extra-data package. gnome-games-extra-data can be found at:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-games-extra-data/2.7/
In the shuffling of themes, Richard Hoelscher's "Paris" SVG card theme
has crept into the main distribution. It uses the same source of
inspiration as David Bellot's SVG card deck, but is smaller and less
detailed, making it faster to load.
Bugfixes:
Aisleriot: Thieves, elevator and eagle_wing are now all playable
again (callum).
Five or More: Grid drawing improvements (Paolo Borelli).
Gnometris: Don't play sounds when we don't actually do anything
(Jon McCann).
Mines: Fix a rounding error when displaying scores on some
platforms (callum).
gnome-games 2.7.6
=================
Only one new item that should grab your attention: David Bellot's pure
SVG card theme. Be warned that this theme is complex and is liable to
expose speed issue and rendering bugs. These aren't David's fault,
they're mine.
There are also some bug fixes:
Aisleriot:
- Pileon should be laid out properly
- Streets and Alleys won't click on a double click anymore
Plus some typos fixed and of course plenty more translations.
gnome-games 2.7.5
=================
This is the last release before the feature freeze, therefore it is
full of new features. Klotski has been put back into the
distribution. The network code for iagno has been factored out and
there is a new connection dialog. The game server for iagno is now
available for local use, it can be found in the libgames-support
directory. Finally, gnometris has sounds !
All card games:
- Hybrid SVG/PNG replacement theme for Dondorf. (Richard Hoelscher)
Blackjack:
- SVG chip and slot images.
Gnometris:
- Drag and drop support for solid-color backgrounds (callum)
- Sound effects ! (callum, Richard Hoelscher)
- Configurable keyboard controls (Paolo Borelli)
Iagno:
- Factored out the network code (Andreas Røsdal)
- New network dialog (Andreas Røsdal)
Klotski:
- It's back !
Robots:
- Use the new keyboard control widget (callum)
Stones:
- The sound files have been removed due to being too close to (and
possibly recorded from) the C64 Boulder Dash game. Besides the theme
tune really annoyed me (callum)
Tali:
- New, SVG, die graphics (Ryan Stutsman)
gnome-games 2.7.4
=================
Lots of new stuff this time around. There are now new ways to play
both Aisleriot and Robots. Also, I've removed the shuffle button in
Mahjongg, you can currently only shuffle if you run out of
moves. There is a bug here, you can get in a situation where you can't
actually shuffle and are basically forced to undo. I'm working on a
solution.
Aisleriot:
- Implement Click-to-move (callum)
- Reorganise menus (callum)
- Context sensitive mouse cursor (Paulo Borelli, callum)

- Fix shuffle bugs (callum)
- Changing the map now gives you the option to start again (callum)
- Remove the shuffle button (callum)
Mines:
- Touch up the face graphics to be properly alpha-blended (callum)
- Draw the "wrong flag" cross in a scalable manner (callum)
Robots:
- Implement mouse control (callum)
- Add a toolbar and move menu to supplement mouse control (callum)
gnome-games 2.7.3
=================
Not a lot new, but there is a new UI for changing key controls
in gnect and gnibbles (thanks to Paolo Borelli).
- Odessa (aisleriot) bug fixes (jrb)
- Removed gdk-card-images library (callum)
- Drawing fixes for blackjack (callum)
- Five or More line detection code improved (callum)

- Make the state of the mahjongg pause button consistent (callum)
gnome-games 2.7.2
=================
The major change for this release is Jon McCann's work on
his blackjack game to make is rescalable. There are some
known bugs in this (due to Callum's code, not Jon's) so be
careful. Those who are reading this as part of the first
official GNOME 2.7 release probably want to look at the notes
for 2.7.1 too.
gnome-games 2.7.1
=================

"Apparently, Sourceforge has reorganized its FTP server. The source for
nethack has been moved. Consequently, a NetBSD mirror will be contacted
for fetching the source."
Closes PR pkg/26826. Thank you Alexander Becher.
intended transformation: use "rm" to remove an option, "rmdir" to remove
all options containing a path starting with a given directory name, and
"rename" to rename options to something else.
which are the full option names used to set rpath directives for the
linker and the compiler, respectively. In places were we are invoking
the linker, use "${LINKER_RPATH_FLAG} <path>", where the space is
inserted in case the flag is a word, e.g. -rpath. The default values
of *_RPATH_FLAG are set by the compiler/*.mk files, depending on the
compiler that you use. They may be overridden on a ${OPSYS}-specific
basis by setting _OPSYS_LINKER_RPATH_FLAG and _OPSYS_COMPILER_RPATH_FLAG,
respectively. Garbage-collect _OPSYS_RPATH_NAME and _COMPILER_LD_FLAG.
This release fixes zillions of bugs (most notably, game saving/loading
now works). Also included is PNG support. There are too many little
changes to note, so see the ChangeLog for details.

Welcome to utopia. The year is 2174, and you have been ordered to
function as an orbital sniper. In your world there's just three
kinds of people: VIPs, dissidents and normal citizens. VIPs run
the world: they must not come to harm. Dissidents must die. If a
commoner or two gets wasted in progress, it'll count against you
when your post ends.
You were a normal citizen only moments ago. If you manage to prove
yourself and keep VIPs safe in your area, they might make you a
VIP. Or do poorly enough and they might decide that you're the
enemy.
On screen, VIPs are designated blue, threats are designated red
and the normal folk are white.
You control the target with mouse; right-drag or use mouse wheel
to zoom. Different zoom modes are useful for different things.
Zoom full out to see the whole situation at a glance (with all that
useless clutter removed), or zoom full in for better aiming.
Several levels of zoom in between give different information.
Left click fires your gun (which is based on some new physics laws
that we haven't invented yet, as the target is destroyed instantly).
The gun reloads for three seconds, so make sure you hit.
