Hello Telsa and other lovers of GNOME Games,
A new release of gnome-games is now available. This version is a
short-lived test release that should quickly be followed up by a
gnome-games 1.2. I would appreciate it if people with the time could
test this release and make sure that it is working, especially when it
comes to the new documentation, multi-depth machines, or if you have a
long history of crashing GNOME programs.
* Availability:
- ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/unstable/sources/gnome-games/
* Fixes:
- all games should work on multi-depth machines, instead of
the alternative functionality formerly provided, the
BadMatch error (Ian)
- I am willing to bet that other things will crash less often
too
* Improvements:
- Iagno now has documentation (Eric Baudais)
- Behold, Gnibbles now has configurable window sizes, and the
laptop users did rejoice (Sean Atkinson, Ian)
- Gnometris now has that nifty option to start with the
playing field partially filled -- think of a falling block
game for an old 8-bit home entertainment system (Callum
McKenzie)
- As usual the translators have been working hard to keep
things up to date
There is no patch; there have been changes of a binary nature since
the last release which a patch wouldn't cover, and so then things
wouldn't compile.
The .spec file included is unchanged and untested since the last
release of gnome-games, so YMMV building RPM's. If anyone is
interested in taking a look at this and sending me a patch to the
.spec.in file before 1.2.0, I would be most grateful (I have no Red
Hat systems and I don't know .spec files).
