Dnes vydávame GCompris vo verzii 3.1.

Keďže sme si všimli, že verzia 3.0 obsahovala vážnu chybu v novej aktivite "Komparátor", rozhodli sme sa pre rýchle vydanie aktualizovaného vydania 3.1, v ktorej sme ju opravili.

Obsahuje tiež drobné úpravy v prekladoch.

Nové verzie balíčkov pre GNU/Linux, Windows, Raspberry Pi a macOS, nájdete na stránke sťahovania. Táto aktuálizácia bude čoskoro dostupná aj v Androidovom Obchode Play, v repozitári F-Droidu a v Obchode Windows.

Vďaka Vám všetkým!

Čo sa týka prekladov, GCompris 3.0 obsahuje 36 jazykov. 25 je plne preložených: (Azerbajdžansky, Baskicky, Bretónsky, Britská angličtina, Estónsky, Francúzsky, Grécky, Hebrejsky, Holadnsky, Chorvátsky, Katalánsky, Katalánsky (Valencia), Litovsky, Maďarsky, Malayalamsky, Nórsky (Nynórčina), Poľsky, Portugalsky, Rumunsky, Rusky, Slovinsky, Španielsky, Taliansky, Tradičná čínština, Ukrainsky). 11 jazykov je čiastočne preložených: (Albánsky (99%), Bielorusky (83%), Brazílska Portugalčina (94%), Česky (82%), Fínsky (94%), Indonézsky (99%), Macedónsky (94%), Nemecky (91%), Slovensky (77%), Švédsky (94%) a Turecky (71%)).

Osobitnú poznámku si zaslúžia hlasy v Ukrajinskom jazyku, ktoré sa podarilo pridať vďaka organizácii "Save the Children", ktorá dotovala ich nahrávanie. Nainštalovali GCompris na 8000 tabletov a 1000 notebookov, a poslali ich do Digitálnych vzdelávacích stredísk a ďalších bezpečných prostredí pre deti na Ukraine.

Hlasy v chorvátštine boli tiež nahraté ochotným prispievateľovm.

Ako obvykle, možete nájsť balíčky v tejto novej verzii pre GNU/Linux, Windows, Android, Raspberry Pi a macOS na stránke sťahovania. Táto aktuálizácia bude čoskoro dostupná aj v Androidovom Obchode Play, v repozitári F-Droidu a v Obchode Windows.

Pre tvorcov balíčkov pre GNU/Linux distribúcie poznamenávame, že tu máme novú závyslosť na QtCharts QML plugine a najnižšia požadovaná verzia Qt5 je teraz 5.12. Tiež sme prešli od používania QtQuick.Controls 1 na QtQuick.Controls 2.

Vďaka Vám všetkým!

Ak máte najnovšiu verziu, dole sa zobrazí text "Úplná sada obrázkov slov je nainštalovaná".

Karl Ove Hufthammer a Øystein Steffensen-Alværvik pridali hlasy v Nórskom (Nynórskom) jazyku. Aiswarya Kaitheri Kandoth dokončila hlasy v Indickom jazyku Malayalam.

Hi,
We are pleased to announce the release of GCompris 2.0. The educational value and the hours of fun and entertainment it provides children of all ages makes it the perfect present for these festive holidays.

It contains many new and improved activities. Below is a summary of included changes.

New activities:

• Baby mouse is for children learning to interact with a computer for the first time.
• Oware is a traditional African strategy game, it can be played against the computer or with a friend.
• In Path encoding (absolute or relative) children need to give a set of directions to follow a defined path in a grid.

• In Learn quantities, the goal is to count how many items are needed to represent a quantity.
• In Learn decimal numbers, children cut units in pieces to learn the concept of decimal numbers.
• Learn decimal additions and Learn decimal subtractions use the same principles as Learn decimal numbers, but this time to practice these operations.
• With Ordering numbers, children can practice ordering numbers in ascending or descending order.
• With Ordering letters, children can practice ordering letters in alphabetical order or in reverse order.
