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.
Sorry for the inconvenience!

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.
