GNOME Games 2.29.1

["Jason D. Clinton" <me jasonclinton com>]

This first development release of gnome-games 2.29 is an exciting one with lots 

of user visible changes. The new game Lightsoff has been added to the package

bringing a dependency on Seed. Same GNOME has also been ported to Seed/Clutter

and at the same time changed its name to Swell Foop. Gnometris also changed 

its name to Quadrapassel. This release is delivered without network support except

for GLChess. The dependency on GGZ has been dropped in favour of a coming move

to Telepathy for networked gaming.

To the users of Blackjack, we are sorry to inform you that the game has been

dropped from GNOME Games.

A HUGE thanks go out to Google for the three GSoC students that they sponsored

this summer. A large amount of the work for 2.29 has come from their work.

Thank you, Google!

There have been a radical number of changes in master which concern

documentation and translation teams: please see our email to the relevant

lists.
