NEWS, 2008-03-30: TuxType won FOSS india award Like last year, Tux4Kids is participating in the Google Summer of Code. Last year's project, the addition of Indic language support to TuxType, won the FOSS India 2008 award. Congratulationss to the team writing this code!

NEWS, 2008-03-29: TuxType 1.5.17 has been released - the first TuxType release in a few months. This release includes a new Nepali theme (contributed by Vikal Acharya and Shakeel Shrestha), as well as some visual enhancements to the menu interface.

For Mac users, also of note is that TuxMath has been added to the excellent MacPorts project. Users of MacPorts can install TuxMath with a simple "sudo port install tuxmath" at the command line. Work is ongoing to add TuxType to MacPorts as well, and to get an automated binary build process for both programs on OS-X.

NEWS, 2008-02-04: Improved MacOSX Support! (but still not perfect). TuxMath 1.6.1 is now available for download as a gzipped tar source archive and as an executable Win32 installer.

For Unix-y MacOSX users, the good news is that the source archive now builds and installs correctly on MacOSX 10.5 (Leopard) with a simple "./configure; make; sudo make install", as long as you have the required libraries. For "the rest of us", we hope to have a simple MacOSX .dmg image file in the near future.

Native language support via Gnu Gettext works correctly on MacOSX, as well as Windows and Linux. New human-language translations are welcome, of course. Email us at tuxmath-devel@lists.sourceforge.net if interested.

On the TuxType front, we now offer current binary builds of TuxType 1.5.16 for Intel- and PPC-based Macs, thanks to the efforts of Alex Shorthouse.

NEWS, 2007-12-12: TuxMath 1.6.0 has just been released. The major advance is successful native language support for Windows users. All of the languages supported by the Linux build (English, Norwegian-Nynorsk, Norwegian-Bokmal, Czech, Dutch and French) are now available under Windows as well. With full Gettext support now implemented for both platforms, we would greatly welcome translations to other (human) languages. Email us at tuxmath-devel@lists.sourceforge.net if interested.

NEWS, 2007-12-12: TuxMath 1.5.9 has just been released. Enhancements include a French translation courtesy of Luc Schrijvers (English, Norwegian-Nynorsk, Norwegian-Bokmal, Czech, Dutch and French are now supported on Linux), as well as a new login system to keep track of individual student progress (thanks to Tim Holy). As of this writing, the new features are not yet implemented for the Windows build.

NEWS, 2007-11-29: Release of TuxType 1.5.16. This release adds new themes for the Czech and Wolof languages (thanks to Jaroslav Krejčí and Issa Dominique Rochefort, respectively), as well as some minor code changes. Importantly, there is a possible bugfix that hopes to address problems with non-ASCII keyboard input not being recognized. This potential fix needs to be tested.

NEWS, 2007-11-15: TuxMath 1.5.8 has just been released.

NEWS, 2007-10-29: TuxMath 1.5.7 has just been released. This version features many new graphics and refinements of the menu system, for a more polished and professional appearance. You can now earn "gold stars" by completing the lessons in the Math Command Training Academy. The Hall of Fame (high score table) is fully operational. The code also includes a bug fix in the menu system and corrections of two errors in the lesson files.

There is also an i386 .rpm for TuxMath 1.5.4.

For users of Debian and its derivatives, recent TuxMath (1.5.8) and TuxType (1.5.15) packages are now available in the "Sid/Unstable" branch.
