[school-discuss] [announce release gcompris 6.1]



Just released gcompris 6.1 As usually, get it from
http://www.ofset.org/gcompris

- Many graphical improvements all around gcompris.
  For example, one I am pretty proud of
http://ofset.sourceforge.net/gcompris/boards/reading/click_on_letter_en.html
- Took 3 icons from the excellent new site http://www.openclipart.org
  (Public Domain)
- Fixed a HUGE memory leak.
- Added a difficulty level filter in the configuration dialog
- fixed algorihm activity. Now the random effect is controled so that
  the example makes sense. Created a cute background for it. 
  Took the idea from the old roman 'le pont du gard' in france.

- clockgame, the hour needle is shorter to avoid confusion.
- A new activity from Yves Combe. It's based a vector drawing
  animation engine. The kid creates an animation by making each
  images one by one. This activity is still under development but
  it's already playable. Thanks a lot Yves for this great activity.
  It's maybe one of the most attractive in artistic terms. It is not
  really classifiable in terms of age. Play it while you get fun.
  Last, it's way ahead of anything I saw in proprietary software for
  kids. Note that since it's not available in the windows version.
- merged the windows and Linux code. There is no more need for me 
  to provide the windows code separatly.
- changed the windows version to provide a 1 month grace period.
  Within this time, all the activities are available. After this,
  it's like before, only 12 activities will run.

Have fun.
