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 Don't forget the gnome-games webpage: http://www.gnome.org/projects/gnome-games/ Major changes since the 2.6 series: General: - New SVG card decks for the card games. - New UI for selecting keyboard controls. - Lots of bug fixes, especially for 64-bit machines. Aisleriot: - Resizeable graphics. - Click-to-move mode. - Per game help menu. - One and two-suit spider variations. Blackjack: - Resizeable graphics. Ataxx: - Major rewrite. New AI. Iagno: - New AI. - The network code has been factored out. Gnometris: - The background is now set by drag-and-drop, you can use any images, tiles or colours you like. This may have issues with konqueror. - Sound ! - Configurable keyboard controls. - A new manual. Lines: - New, less sucky, name: Five-or-more. Mahjongg: - New default theme: postmodern. - New layout: ziggurat. - The explicit shuffle command has been removed, it is still available if you run out of moves. Mines: - Graphics tweaks. Nibbles: - Resizeable graphics. Robots: - You can now play using the mouse. Tali: - Revised UI. - New graphics for the dice. 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) - Hint support for Freecell (Matthew V. Ball) - make more use of GamesFileList to remove unportable code. Blackjack: - Replace deprecated widgets (Jon McCann) Gnometris: - New help file (Angela Boyle) - Separate out the C and C++ compiler flags (callum) Gnotravex: - GCC 3.5 compiler fixes. Mahjongg: - Revised postmodern theme, it is now the default (Richard Hoelscher) - 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) - New control selection UI in gnect and gnibbles (Paolo Borrelli) - 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 ================= This is the first release of the new development cycle and there is a *lot* of very new features available for your enjoyment. Being a development release there will also be a lot of bugs. As always we are very interested in bug reports and suggestions: send them to: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/ Gnome-games now has a web-page. You can find it at: http://www.gnome.org/projects/gnome-games/ Aside from numerous bug fixes (thanks to Dean Copsey, Paolo Borelli, William Jon McCann and Iain Holmes) these are the major changes: Aisleriot: - The cards now scale with the window. (Callum) - Two new games: one and two-card spider. (Aaron Schlaegel) - Per game help menu item. (Callum) Ataxx: - Major rewrite: new AI and drawing code. (Sjoerd Langkemper) Gnibbles: - Resizeable SVG graphics. (Theo van Klaveren) Gnometris: - Backgrounds are now set by drag-and-drop. (Callum) Iagno: - New, harder, AI added. (Bevan Collins) Klotski: - Removed. (Callum) Lines: - Renamed to Five or More. (Callum) Mahjongg: - New layout, Ziggurat. (Rexford Newbould) Mines: - New scores dialog. (Callum) Tali: - Revised UI.
