Auralquiz 1.0.0 is out!

Time for a new Auralquiz release. Despite being the very official “1.0.0”, it’s a minor update to the previous version, mostly updating some translations and some documentation. This version still supports both Qt 4.8 and Qt 5.x. Next release will not support Qt 4.

Changelog

The most notable changes since v0.9.0 are:

• Updated translations.
• Include .opus files in music scan.
• Added AppData (AppStream) file.
• Minor documentation fixes.

Getting it

Auralquiz is available in the repositories of several GNU/linux distributions. At the time of this post, at least Debian 7 (Wheezy) and newer, Mageia 2 and later, Ubuntu 13.10 and newer, and ALT Linux. Hopefully they’ll have this release packaged soon, either in regular updates or in backports repositories. Thanks to all the great packagers who make this possible! 😉

You can get the code from linux-games.org (old qt-apps.org): https://www.linux-games.org/p/1109384/ or from GNU Savannah: http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/auralquiz/auralquiz-v1.0.0.tar.gz

If you need or want to build from source, check the INSTALL file for details on how to build it and the necessary build-time and runtime dependencies.

Cheers!

Auralquiz 0.9.0 released!

It’s been a really long time since I released the current stable version of Auralquiz, my music guessing game, and it’s about time for a new release, updated for Qt 5, and with fixes all over the place.

Changelog

The most notable changes since v0.8.1 are:

• Support for building with Qt 5, which is now the recommended version, since Qt 4 is no longer maintained.
• Many Phonon fixes, which should avoid sound problems.
• Added Galician translation, thanks to Miguel Anxo Bouzada.
• Answering with the keyboard now can be done using the following keys:  1/2/3/4, Z/X/C/V, 7/8/9/0 and U/I/O/P.

Uh… Auralquiz 0.6 released

Just a little over 10 days after v0.5, here comes Auralquiz 0.6!

A bug was discovered in 0.5 which caused a crash during analysis of the music files in the user’s folders, if there were many files without valid metadata (no artist and/or title fields).
This has been fixed, among other things, and also a few small improvements.

After selecting “Start game”, the main game options appear: difficulty level, amount of questions, amount of players, and their names.

As always get it here:

And as always, feedback is welcome!

*UPDATE: Packages for Mandriva available here, thanks to Symbianflo.
