Tux Paint 2002.08.23 is now available!
Tux Paint is a drawing program for young children, written using
cross-platform, Open Source libraries that allows it to run in
various languages (English, Spanish, French…) and on various platforms
(Linux, Windows, Solaris).

Changes include:
-
Italian translation
-
Dutch translation
-
Updated German translation
-
Support for SDL’s upcoming “WMCLASS” support (so it’ll play nice under
WindowMaker) -
Renamed US Coin stamps’ filenames, so that they sort in order of value.
(Penny, Nickel, etc.) -
Made a few of the flower stamps ‘tintable,’ to show off the feature.
-
Better looking cursor in ‘Open’ dialog.
-
‘Candy-cane’ style progress bar displayed when first starting up,
and while preparing to show thumbnails of saved images. -
Added details on “*PREFIX” Makefile variables in “INSTALL.txt” docs.
(Spanish translation of this file needs updating!) -
And, last but not least, the number one requested feature:
Support for loading older, BMP-format ‘saved’ images!
Call for help!
I’m interested in translating Tux Paint to as many languages as possible.
I’d especially like help in the non-Latin-character languages like
Hindi, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc… I’ll need (open source compatible)
TTF fonts, and help getting the code to work with them.
Thanks!
