AKFQuiz - News

This project is in maintenance mode for a while. No new features will be implemented, but I try to keep it compatible with new systems.
The version control system has been switched to Git. This should make it easier to fork this project. If you want to make a fork, please contact me, the author. I would be happy to help with this.
For more information how to clone the Git repository, look at the homepage. Also the address for the ChangeLog has changed!

AKFQuiz 4.4.0 is out now.
The build process has changed a lot. If you want to compile it yourself, you should definitely read the file INSTALL again. The build process is now more "standard" and you have more options.

There is a new mailing-list: AKFQuiz-announce.
The list is for all, who want to be kept informed about AKFQuiz, but have no interest in the discussions at AKFQuiz-users.
The list AKFQuiz-announce is a low volume list, where only the most interesting news is posted from time to time. Only I, the list-owner can publish news at this list. Mails

All programs in AKFQuiz support the parameters "--help" and "--version" now.

You can already use the support database if you have questions or suggestions regarding AKFQuiz. The news section is already usable, as you can see. And
