TuxTyping 1.5.0 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=277737
After over a year of development with no releases, we are pleased to present Tux Typing 2 "Preview" release. Most of the internals have been rewritten with a focus on extensibility and internationalization. Creating a language pack is now as simple as creating a file for translations (lang.po file), maybe finding a font [1], setting up how the keyboard maps to the characters [2], and finally creating some word lists. TuxTyping is an educational typing tutorial game for children starring Tux, the Linux Penguin. It is graphical and requires SDL. It is free software copyrighted under the Gnu GPL. There is a new style of game "Comet Zap" and the start of tutor components with the new "Practice" mode. We really look forward to getting feedback about what parents/teachers/students/kids think about the new work. This release has a few rough edges, but we feel that it is time to let the world see what has been happening with Tux Typing. We have forums, mailing lists, and most importantly windows and linux builds are available at http://tuxtype.sf.net We are already hard at work at 1.5.1 and hope to have it released soon making it even easier for translators and users! Thanks, Jesse Andrews - jdandr2@uky.edu Calvin Arndt - calarndt@tux4kids.net Notes: [1] We are using a font that has support for many languages (Dansk, English, French, Spanish, ...) So if the included font works with your language, you don't need to find a new font. [2] for instance in the default (English) language pack, we set up the game so if the student presses 'A' or 'a' it both works for "A".

Tcllib 1.4.0 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=275116
tcllib is a Tcl-only library of standard routines for Tcl (no compiling required). This release is a minor version change which fixes numerous bugs and provides a lot of enhancements as well. Tcllib 1.4 release
notes ======================== Hello World, welcome to Tcllib 1.4. This
release is a minor version change which fixes numerous bugs and
provides a lot of enhancements as well. Availability ------------ The
released distributions can be downloaded from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12883&release_id=
157517 Available are gzipped, zipped, and bzipped tarballs, a starkit,
and a starpack for windows. Installation ------------ * For the starkit
and starpack just execute the file and a GUI based installer will pop
up. Fill out the paths, then run the installation. * For the tarballs
unpack them in some directory /foo, then run the file
"/foo/installer.tcl". This will invoke the same installer used in the
starkit and starpack. Note: While the installer will open up a GUI by
default (and if possible), a command line based installation is
provided too. Run the installer with the option "-help" to see what is
available. Known problems -------------- * When using Tcllib 1.4 on a
true 64bit platform, like Linux/Alpha, or Linux/IA-64 the usage of Tcl
8.4.x is strongly recommended. * Package mime, SourceForge Tcllib Bug
#447037 A special case of the above. This problem affects only people
which are using Tcl and Mime on a true 64-bit system. The currently
recommended fix for this problem is to upgrade to Tcl version 8.4. This
version has extended 64 bit support and the bug does not appear
anymore. The problem could have been generally solved by requiring the
use of Tcl 8.4 for this package. We decided against this solution as it
would force a large number of unaffected users to upgrade their Tcl
interpreter for no reason. See
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=447037&group_id=12883&a tid=112883 for additional information.

functionality into packages it was also greatly expanded. A new
application based on this expanded functionality, the doctools
