gnome-games 2.12.1
==================
This is a stable maintenance release of gnome-games. Several bugs have
been fixed and translations have been updated. Upgrading is
recommended.
The bugs fixed:
General: Fixes to the build system to ensure the correct glib version
is used and make sure compiling without ESD works. Compiler fixes for
Solaris and Mac OS X.
Aisleriot: Fix conflicts between menu short-cuts. Fail more gracefully
when a game file cannot be found (necessary when using a shared home
directory).
Nibbles: Fix conflicts between menu short-cuts.
Robots: Set the background color correctly at start-up.
Gnometris: Obey the preview preference at start-up.
Mines: Fix a crasher involving multiple simultaneous button clicks.
gnome-games 2.12.0
==================
Here it is! The shiny new stable release of gnome-games.
Those of you following the testing releases will only notice two
changes: The handling of mouse movement with the buttons down in Mines
has been improved and the French docs for Aisleriot are all installed
properly.
For those of you who like your software bug-free, this is what has changed:
General:
- Lots of UI tweaks, thanks to Dennis Cranston tireless attention to detail.
- Slightly better UI for network games.
- Better use of stock items for menus and toolbars.
Aisleriot:
- Stacks of cards that run off the bottom of the screen are squeezed
up to make them fit.
- Cards you can drop other cards onto are hilighted (Vincent Povirk did
all the hard work for this one).
- Three new games: Backbone, Carpet and Triple Peaks.
- Double clicking foundation cards triggers auto-move, very useful for
finishing up games like Klondike (not universally supported).
- Fullscreen mode.
Four in a Row:
- Nice (SVG) default graphics from Alan Horkan.
- A new game starts the moment the program is launched.
Gnometris:
- Now uses the new high scores dialog.
Iagno:
- Starts a new game the moment the program starts.
- Removed the clock - it was useless.
Mahjongg:
- If you click on a second tile and it doesn't match the first we now
select that one as the new first tile rather than telling you off.
- Fullscreen mode.
- Display the current game in the title bar.
Mines:
- Using the left button on a cleared square is now like using the middle
button. This makes the game a lot easier for those with an awkward middle
button. All the old buttons still work, so no one should be disadvantaged.
- The first click is now guaranteed to clear a useful number of squares:
no more clicking randomly to find a gap.
- When you click on a mine you now get an explosion.
Robots:
- Remove the specialised key sets. The left-hand key set only worked with
US keyboards and anyone who is old school enough to use the traditional
keys knows how to customise them.
Same GNOME:
- A "Fast Animation" mode for the impatient.
- Better grid and background colours.
Stones:
- The level you last played is remembered properly.
- Remove all the scrolling options and replace it with one good scrolling
algorithm.
Tali:
- The word "Yahtzee" has been completely eliminated so there is absolutely
no chance of a trademark dispute.
Tetravex:
- Tiles get hilighted on mouse-over: just like any other widget.
Lots of people contributed to this release:
Callum McKenzie
Richard Hoelscher
Vincent Povirk
Dennis Cranston
Alan Horkan
Peter Moulder
Clytie Siddall
and all the other people who reported bugs and provided patches and
gave generous feedback but for whom my record keeping has failed
miserably to keep track of.
And also of course the translation team.
gnome-games 2.11.5
==================
This is the final release candidate for 2.12. Testing this release is
strongly encouraged. It should compile on a GNOME 2.10 system without
any extra libraries.
As usual there are no new features, however there are some things that
need attention:
- Aisleriot drawing code: there has been a change here that is rather
drastic for this late in the release cycle. Any drawing glitches
should be filed as bugs. When reporting the bug please describe
exactly what you were doing, the game played, and how many cards you
were dragging. Screenshots won't go amiss either.
- The aisleriot statistics dialog: if I haven't got the autoconf
magic right then the close button on this dialog may
fail. Alternatively configure may fail. In either case I am interested
in reports of this, espeically on Fedora core 3 and core 4 systems.
- Once again, aisleriot: there is a strange crash that happens very
infrequently. I have seen it myself, but not managed to get a good
stack trace. Anyone who has debugging symbols turned on and
experiences a crash -please report it. It will occur while, or shortly
after dragging some cards.
All other crashes should also be reported.
gnome-games 2.11.4
==================
This release is the second beta release of gnome-games in preparation
for GNOME 2.12. There are no new features, only bug-fixes,
documentation updates and translation updates.
gnome-games 2.11.3
==================
This is the user-interface freeze release of gnome-games. Most of the
changes have been bug-fixes.
General:
- Slightly streamlined build process (callum).
Aisleriot:
- Improvements to the card dropping code (callum and Peter Moulder).
- UI cleanups (Dennis Cranston).
- Stop the rules being changed mid-game (callum).
- Help for games with multi-word names should work in French locales (callum).
Ataxx:
- Clarify the rules (rah).
- Fix some drawing glitches (callum).
Mahjongg:
- Documentation XML fixup (Peter Moulder).
Mines:
- UI tweaks (Dennis Cranston)
- It will now compile when optimisation is turned off.
Same Gnome:
- UI tweaks (Dennis Cranston)
Stones:
- The level you last played is now remembered between games. You can
also start at any level, not just the pre-defined ones (callum).
Games Server:
- The games-server program now behaves like a real Unix daemon (callum).
- Fix a typo in the schema descriptions (Clytie Siddall).
gnome-games 2.11.2
==================
This is the feature-freeze release of gnome-games. These are the
major, user-visible, changes:
Aisleriot:
- Three new games: Carpet (almost completely pointless) and Backbone (not
pointless at all) from Vincent Povirk. Triple Peaks from Richard
Hoelscher.
- Hilighting of valid drop targets not works for all games where it
makes sense (Vincent Povirk).
- Scores are hidden for games where it doesn't make sense (rah).
Four in a Row:
- New SVG graphics from Alan Horkan. The classic and high contrast
themes has been updated and a new High Contrast Inverse theme has been
added. Both of these accessibility themes now match the GNOME themes
of the same name (Alan Horkan).
- Subtle grid-drawing improvements (callum).
- Some of the themese have changed names (Alan Horkan).
Mahjongg:
- Display the current game in the title-bar.
Tali:
- The phrase "Yahtzee" has been replaced with "5 of a kind". It
doesn't sound as sexy, but it is more obvious what it means and
it isn't a trademark (rah, callum).
Plus lots of bug fixes, code cleanups, api modernisation, and -of
course- the tireless work of the translation team.
gnome-games 2.11.1
==================
Finally, a very belated 2.11.x entry for gnome-games. A lot has changed
and I've probably missed a few things, but here are the main points:
General:
- (Slightly) improved UI for starting network games.
- Lots of HIG-conformance tweaks leading to nicer dialogs.
- Use of modern APIs and stock items, once again giving a nicer feel
to the UI.
Aisleriot:
- Per-game options work again. e.g. Klondike has the option for 3-card deals.
- Valid places to drop cards are now hilighted (only on some games).
- Dropping cards in the right place is now easier.
- Double-clicking the foundation in Klondike auto-moves cards to the
foundatione. Very useful at the end of the game.
- Fullscreen mode.
- Gay Gordons is guaranteed to be solvable.
- Long card lists are automatically expand and contract to fit the window.
Four in a row:
- A new game starts the moment the prgram is launched.
Gometris:
- Use the new high-scores dialog.
Iagno:
- Start a new game when the program loads.
- Removed the clock, it was useless.
Mahjongg:
- Rather than assuming clicking on a second, mismatched, tile was a mistake,
assume that the player wants to select it as the first of a different pair.
- Fullscreen mode.
Mines:
- Using the left button on a cleared square is now like using the middle
button. This makes the game a lot easier for those with an awkward middle
button.
- The first click is guaranteed to clear a "useful" number of squares so you
don't have to blindly click and hope you don't hit a mine.
- An explosion graphic is drawn on a mine if you set it off.
Robots:
- Remove the specialised key sets.
Same GNOME:
- Fast animation mode for those who are impatient.
- Better grid, background and cursor colours.
Stones:
- Allow only one scrolling technique. Improve the quality of the scrolling.
Tali:
- UI tweaks: the dice area behaves like a toolbar wth prelight hilighting
and the like.
Tetravex:
- Tiles get hilighted on mouse-over. i.e. the behave just like any other
GTK component.
And of course a lot of bug fixes and code cleanups.

Since their world was invaded by an alien race, the Blobs have
faced a lifetime of war. But now they have a chance to win the war
once and for all.
In Blob Wars: Metal Blob Solid, you take on the role of a fearless
Blob agent, Bob. Bob's mission is to infiltrate the various enemy

that these directories will be conditionally removed (based on reference
counts), regardless of the value of PKG_CONFIG. Bump the PKGREVISION
for packages that were modified as a result.
as the INSTALL and DEINSTALL scripts no longer distinguish between
the two types of files. Drop SUPPORT_FILES{,_PERMS} and modify the
packages in pkgsrc accordingly.
Only update the MASTER_SITES and HOMEPAGE and add a new CONFLICTS line
for pioneers, which will be added as soon as there is a stable version
of pioneers available.
Nothing really changed, but you couldn't get the distfile from any
sourceforge site, due too the name change of the project.
I'm now the maintainer of this package, for the time till pioneers is ready
to be added.
