GnuCash 1.8.7

Designed to be easy to use, yet powerful and flexible, GnuCash
allows you to track bank accounts, stocks, income and expenses. It
is based on professional accounting principles to ensure balanced
books and accurate reports.

Fixes

The GnuCash team is pleased to announce the release of stable
version 1.8.7.

What’s New in GnuCash 1.8.7?

Use <libofx/libofx.h> instead of “libofx/libofx.h” as
it’s not part of our system. Fixes a dependency problem in 1.8.6
release.
Small fix from hawkfan to get tests to work when building
outside srcdir.
Fix a bug introduced by Matthew — ANSI C does not allow you to
declare a variable in the middle of an expression. Move the
declaration to the top of the function.
We don’t need the trailing semi-colon because the #include adds
one. The double semi-colon causes build failures in some
cases.

gcompris 4.0PRE1

Application

gcompris 4.0PRE1

Description

GCompris is a full featured education game for kids between 3
and 8. The game includes many different activities like teaching
how to use a mouse and keybord, memory games, vector drawing, basic
educational games, reading, algebra exerciser and more.

Enhancements

Created the fifteen board based on the libgnomecanvas demo
Implemented assetml which is a new way to access resource files
like images and sounds. This will allow educational applications to
share their content. Now gcompris rely on libassetml and assetml
resource file to run.
Assetml is a big change, it means first that you must also
install gcompris-libassetml to install and run gcompris.
Now some data files have to be downloaded from the ofset
download page in the assetml section.
You can get more information on what assetml is by reading
the
I would like to mention that the childsplay project has already
implemented assetml and thus we will be abble to share our content.
Childsplay is still a young project but it’s a very good
alternative to gcompris for those who want to be 100% python and
use a very efficient drawing API like SDL. I hope other educational
project will follow.
Thanks to Susan Rich, we now have a complete set of english
voices: download it from the assetml download section

Fixes

Better handling of internal dialog boxes. No more lock when you
hit ‘esc’ to quit it.
Fixed bug where the icon was becomming darker and darker.
added gtk_window_fullscreen call to support full compliant
standard window manager (like xfce). Now the WManager bar should
not be displayed when gcompris is in full screen
fixed bug and screen refresh in the canal lock activity
fixed end loop in case there was no .ogg to play in the
gcompris/boards/music/background/ or this directory is inexistant
(the default case). Note that if you create the directory
{/usr/share}/gcompris/boards/music/background/ and put ogg music in
it, they will be played in background while running gcompris
(replace /usr/share by where you gcompris/boards installation
resides)
removed explosion and mine in the submarine activity. Added
display of the current air in the air tankers
fixed bug in shape type game: if the item is back to the list,
it remains marked found
replaced the match star/tree by tuxplane/tuxhelico in the baby
match activity since the tree/star has no meaning in non christian
country
In reversecount: fixed several bugs: can no more jump over the
fish can no more face impossible case (too close or too far) now
tux moves ice by ice to let the kid count in his head.
In the simple colors activity: now text is displayed if no
voice available or sounds fx are disabled
