<div>Hello,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I've been hoping to get new releases of tuxmath and tuxtype out "real soon now", and it hasn't happened yet because of my being swamped at work, but also with some issues that need to be fixed in the programs. These may not be severe enough to stop the release, but I would hope we get them fixed soon. These are based on current svn.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Tuxmath:</div>
<div>1. Factoroids segfaults at the start of the activity about 10% of the time when tested fullscreen on Windows. I haven't seen this on Linux or in windowed mode, but I haven't tested these a large number of times. The output available on Windows (stderr.txt and stdout.txt) isn't very informative, but it seems it may occur when the sprites (rocks) are being drawn. Maybe some of the random initial positions result in memory locations being accessed outside of what is allowed.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Tuxtype:</div>
<div>1. "Lessons" seems to be broken, somehow going into the "Practice" phrase typing activity after loading the selected script. Unfortunately, I have only a vague grasp of our home-brewed interpreter (scripting.c) for the xml-based lessons, as it pre-dates my involvement in the project. Unless someone else can debug and support this activity, we may need to inactivate it for the time being. I would hate to do so, because the Indic team has contributed a lot of very nice lessons files for the Indic language themes.</div>
<div>2. Changes in locale are not reflected in the menus immediately.</div>
<div>3. My Windows crossbuild of tuxtype now fails, because <a href="http://configure.ac">configure.ac</a> expects libintl to be available externally, and my crossbuild environment doesn't have it (because tuxmath has its own in-tree intl directory). I can likely add libintl to the build environment, but I would rather have tuxtype and tuxmath be the same in this regard.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. I do not expect to have much time at all for tux4kids for at least the next few days.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
<div> </div>
