Bug in GNU/Linux binary packages
     posted by akf, Sat 16 Jul 2011 10:41:48 AM UTC - 0 replies

The binary packages for GNU/Linux had a bug. The module akfavatar-graphic.so was linked with an old version of libakfavatar.

The new version 0.20.0-1 corrects this.

outlook to the next version
     posted by akf, Fri 23 Jul 2010 12:42:17 PM UTC - 0 replies

It has been a long time since the last official release. But work on the next version is ongoing. It just takes a little longer this time.

The next release will come with Lua as integrated scripting language. So writing applications for AKFAvatar will be a lot easier.

Those who want to test it can already get a test-version. But it is still undocumented and the interface can still change until the release.
