 <p><i><b>NEWS, 2008-12-02: </i>TuxMath 1.7.0 and TuxType 1.7.0 Coming Soon!</b> The Google Summer of Code was highly productive for Tux4Kids, with major enhancements to both programs courtesy of Brendan Luchen (TuxMath), Jesus Mager (TuxMath), Sreyas Kurumanghat (Tux Typing), and Mobin Mohan (Tux Typing), as well as their respective mentors.  Both programs now run fullscreen at the native resolution from the operating system, rather than just 640x480.  This greatly improves the appearance, especially on small devices like the OLPC XO laptop.  TuxMath features an entirely new game activity, "Factoroids", which provides fun review of factorization and reduction of fractions while clearing away rocks floating in space.  There also is a new, more flexible question-generation engine that allows questions with multiple operands for order-of-operations review.  Some of the individual lessons are linked together in "Campaign Mode" that places Tux's efforts in an overall story line.  For Tux Typing, enhancements include a completely reworked phrase practice activity, with graphic keyboard hints and on-screen display of accuracy and typing speed.  Tux Typing also now uses GNU gettext for internationalization, making it easier to add translations.</p>
