Log Message:
Update to 2.8.0.  This version corresponds to GNOME 2.8.0.

gnome-games 2.8.0
=================

This is the first stable release of the 2.8 series. It should compile
happily in a GNOME 2.6 or GNOME 2.8 environment although a recent
librsvg is recommended.

*** Important ***

A lot of the themes and graphics have been moved to a
new, less frequently updated, package called gnome-games-extra-data.
You can get it from:

 http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-games-extra-data/2.8/

The main gnome-games package still contains everything you need to
play, including the default themes.

Also:

 - The backgrounds for gnometris are now set by drag and drop. You are
expected to use your own images for this, the old backgrounds are no
longer shipped as part of the gnome-games package, but can be found in
the gnome-games-extra-data package. The "Backgrounds and Emblems" menu
option from the nautilus file browser is also good place to start.

 - The more detailed SVG themes for the card games will be slow to
redraw if you change the window size on anything but a fast machine. Be
patient. Playing the game is fine regardless of computer speed.

People who contribute to this release, in no particular order, are:

Callum McKenzie
Richard Hoelscher
Paolo Borelli
Jon McCann
Andreas Røsdal
Ryan Stutsman
Matthew V. Ball
Angela Boyle
Aaron Schlaegel
Sjoerd Langkemper
Theo van Klaveren
Bevan Collins
Rexford Newbould
Trevor Hamm

gnome-games 2.7.8
=================

This release is ready for the code-freeze. It contains only
bug-fixes. One more release with documentation updates and any
emergency bug-fixes can be expected before 2.8.0.

Remember that your favorite themes may have been moved to the
gnome-games-extra-data package. This is still at version 2.7.0, so if
you obtained it for the 2.7.7 gnome-games release you do not have to
download it again (for details see the 2.7.7 release notes below).

Bug fixes:

Aisleriot:
 - Right click now works after window enlargement.
 - The translation of the game-specific help menu item is fixed.
 - --variation (and the freecell desktop file) now works for non-english
   locales.
 - Documentation for one and two-suit spider.

Blackjack:
 - The payout for winning with a blackjack is now documented.
 - The SVG chip images have been cleaned up and should work with most
   versions of librsvg.

Four-in-a-row:
 - "No or child" bug on x86_64 has been fixed.

Gnometris:
 - Fixed a crasher on x86_64 machines.

Mahjongg:
 - Cut down on unnecessary redraws while resizing.

Mines:
 - Stop the face image being clipped.
 - Fix the sanity-checking code.

gnome-games 2.7.7
=================

*** ATTENTION ***

A lot of the themes have been split into a separate package called
gnome-games-extra-data. The core package now contains only a minimum
amount of graphics, it is still functional, but your favourite themes
may not be there. You can get the missing themes back by installing the
gnome-games-extra-data package. gnome-games-extra-data can be found at:

 http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-games-extra-data/2.7/

In the shuffling of themes, Richard Hoelscher's "Paris" SVG card theme
has crept into the main distribution. It uses the same source of
inspiration as David Bellot's SVG card deck, but is smaller and less
detailed, making it faster to load.

Bugfixes:

Aisleriot:    Thieves, elevator and eagle_wing are now all playable
	      again (callum).

Five or More: Grid drawing improvements (Paolo Borelli).

Gnometris:    Don't play sounds when we don't actually do anything
              (Jon McCann).

Mines:        Fix a rounding error when displaying scores on some
              platforms (callum).

gnome-games 2.7.6
=================

Only one new item that should grab your attention: David Bellot's pure
SVG card theme. Be warned that this theme is complex and is liable to
expose speed issue and rendering bugs. These aren't David's fault,
they're mine.

There are also some bug fixes:

Aisleriot:
 - Pileon should be laid out properly
 - Streets and Alleys won't click on a double click anymore

Plus some typos fixed and of course plenty more translations.

gnome-games 2.7.5
=================

This is the last release before the feature freeze, therefore it is
full of new features. Klotski has been put back into the
distribution. The network code for iagno has been factored out and
there is a new connection dialog. The game server for iagno is now
available for local use, it can be found in the libgames-support
directory. Finally, gnometris has sounds !

All card games:
 - Hybrid SVG/PNG replacement theme for Dondorf. (Richard Hoelscher)

Blackjack:
 - SVG chip and slot images.

Gnometris:
 - Drag and drop support for solid-color backgrounds (callum)
 - Sound effects ! (callum, Richard Hoelscher)
 - Configurable keyboard controls (Paolo Borelli)

Iagno:
 - Factored out the network code (Andreas Røsdal)
 - New network dialog (Andreas Røsdal)

Klotski:
 - It's back !

Robots:
 - Use the new keyboard control widget (callum)

Stones:
 - The sound files have been removed due to being too close to (and
   possibly recorded from) the C64 Boulder Dash game. Besides the theme
   tune really annoyed me (callum)

Tali:
 - New, SVG, die graphics (Ryan Stutsman)

gnome-games 2.7.4
=================

Lots of new stuff this time around. There are now new ways to play
both Aisleriot and Robots. Also, I've removed the shuffle button in
Mahjongg, you can currently only shuffle if you run out of
moves. There is a bug here, you can get in a situation where you can't
actually shuffle and are basically forced to undo. I'm working on a
solution.

Aisleriot:
 - Implement Click-to-move (callum)
 - Reorganise menus (callum)
 - Context sensitive mouse cursor (Paulo Borelli, callum)
 - Hint support for Freecell (Matthew V. Ball)
 - make more use of GamesFileList to remove unportable code.

Blackjack:
 - Replace deprecated widgets (Jon McCann)

Gnometris:
 - New help file (Angela Boyle)
 - Separate out the C and C++ compiler flags (callum)

Gnotravex:
 - GCC 3.5 compiler fixes.

Mahjongg:
 - Revised postmodern theme, it is now the default (Richard Hoelscher)
 - Fix shuffle bugs (callum)
 - Changing the map now gives you the option to start again (callum)
 - Remove the shuffle button (callum)

Mines:
 - Touch up the face graphics to be properly alpha-blended (callum)
 - Draw the "wrong flag" cross in a scalable manner (callum)

Robots:
 - Implement mouse control (callum)
 - Add a toolbar and move menu to supplement mouse control (callum)

gnome-games 2.7.3
=================

Not a lot new, but there is a new UI for changing key controls
in gnect and gnibbles (thanks to Paolo Borelli).

 - Odessa (aisleriot) bug fixes (jrb)
 - Removed gdk-card-images library (callum)
 - Drawing fixes for blackjack (callum)
 - Five or More line detection code improved (callum)
 - New control selection UI in gnect and gnibbles (Paolo Borrelli)
 - Make the state of the mahjongg pause button consistent (callum)

gnome-games 2.7.2
=================

The major change for this release is Jon McCann's work on
his blackjack game to make is rescalable. There are some
known bugs in this (due to Callum's code, not Jon's) so be
careful. Those who are reading this as part of the first
official GNOME 2.7 release probably want to look at the notes
for 2.7.1 too.

gnome-games 2.7.1
=================

This is the first release of the new development cycle and there is a
*lot* of very new features available for your enjoyment. Being a
development release there will also be a lot of bugs. As always we are
very interested in bug reports and suggestions: send them to:
