    SuperTuxKart 0.8.1 released for PowerPC Linux

    We are proud to announce the release of SuperTuxKart version 0.8.1 for PPC Linux.

    This release includes the following features:
    * New track 'STK Enterprise'
    * Updated tracks 'Old Mine', 'Around the Lighthouse' and 'Zen Garden'
    * New modes 'Soccer' and 'Egg Hunt'
    * New karts 'Xue' and 'Sara'
    * Updated 'Beastie' kart
    * Added tutorial
    * Added new 'SuperTux' difficulty
    * New bubblegum shield defensive weapon
    * New combined speedometer and nitro meter
    * Added ability to filter add-ons
    * Updated nitro models
    * Added ability to save and resume Grand Prix
    * Improved skid marks and particle effects


    It has taken us a rather long time for a minor release, but most of the developers have been rather busy with mentoring students for the “Google Summer of Code 2013”. On the other hand, we had many contributions from new developers: Dawid Gan tirelessly fixed bugs, making 0.8.1 the minor release with most bug fixes. Johannesr1 added shield functionality to bubblegum. Xenux added filtering of add-ons, Glenn De Jonghe saving of a Grand Prix (just abort a Grand Prix at the beginning of a race, later then restart the same Grand Prix again). Funto and Mohammad Al-Ghannam added a multi-player soccer mode.

    Re: SuperTuxKart 0.8.1 released for PowerPC Linux

    Hi all,

    I've released a bug fix version of the static Linux AltiVec package. The reason was that the bluetooth lib has a dependency to glibc 2.15. Therefore, it doesn't run on Debian 7 and MintPPC 11. I've compilied the static version of the bluetooth lib into the STK binary. And now it runs on Debian 7 and MintPPC 11 with glibc 2.13.
    Additional I have released a version for older Linux systems with glibc 2.11.1 or higher without AltiVec optimization. This version runs also on the Cyrus boards in the future.

    Downloads:

    supertuxkart-0.8.1-linux-glibc2.11.1-ppc.tar.gz

    All the best,
    Christian
