myself) - updated to the po files: zh_TW (Abel), nl (Vincent, Kees), sr

Gnome-games 2.4.0
It is finally here: gnome-games “Reasonable Excuse” 2.4.0
With over 100 bugs closed and a megabyte shaved off the download
we know you are going to just love this new stable release. A full
list of the changes has been appened to the end of this
announcement (and can also be found in the README file), the
high-lights are:
- Fewer bugs.
- Better looking and HIG compliant.
- Up-to-date documentation.
- A new game, Blackjack.
- Gnomine and Tetravex and now resizeable.
- Sokoban levels for GNOME Stones.
- Bill is dead (trust me, this is a high-light).
It should also compile under a GNOME 2.2 system if you do not
feel like doing a complete GNOME upgrade (although your computer
will love you if you do go the whole way).
The release can be found at
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-games/2.4/
and mirrors.
Special thanks must go to Jon McCann and Steve Chaplin for their
hard work in getting gnome-games where it is today.

There have been several major changes between version 2.2 of
gnome-games and version 2.4. These are:
General:
- XBill has been removed since it was getting too far out of sync
with the official release at www.xbill.org/. - A new game, Blackjack, has been added.
- The stand-alone Freecell game has been removed in favour of a
special mode for AisleRiot (it still has its own icon). - All games have updated documentation.
- All games are broadly HIG compliant and have things like
auto-apply preferences and the menus are context snesitive (e.g. no
undo until you make a move). - GConf is more widely used and sanity checks are performed on
them. - Any dialog that asked “Are you sure ?” has been removed,
including the quit dialogs. It has been foolishly assumed that you
know what you are doing. - A lot of the names have been changed to remove GNOME-this and
g-that style names. This only applies to the icons and the panel
menu items. - The size of many graphics files have been reduced.
- Lots and lots of bug-fixes. AisleRiot:
- A new undo system should remove many of the stranger bugs.
- Better (but not perfect) integration with gettext, more text
should be translated now.
Ataxx:
- Pixmaps are shared with Iagno.
- The animation code has been fixed and “partial” mode now
works. - Undo works properly and the game doesn’t crash after the 128th
move.
Blackjack:
- This is completely new, enjoy.
Gnometris:
- There is now a visual indication when the game is over or
paused.
Lines:
- It is a lot prettier.
- The background is a solid colour rather than a pixmap and the
foreground pixmaps now use alpha-blending.
Mines:
- This has received a lot of love thanks to Steve Chaplin.
- The window is resizeable and the graphics scale to match the
window size. - The difference between cleared and uncleared mines has been
enhanced.
Nibbles and Robots:
- The preferences are now fully keyboard-navigable.
Stones:
- New Sokoban levels.
- A restart level option, for when you get stuck playing the
Sokoban levels.
Tali
- The curses version has been removed.
Tetravex
- It is now completely resizeable.
