gnome-games 2.9.4
=================

This is the feature-complete version of gnome-games leading up to
2.10.  Most of the work since the last release has gone into restoring
the missing features in same-gnome.  While there are one or two bugs I
know about, please report any that you find.

Other changes:

General:
 - games-preimage usage has been changed to remove unnecessary
   gnome-vfs dependencies (rah).
 - New, generic, high scores widget based on the gnomine one (callum).

Aisleriot:
 - Swapped the "new game" and "quit" buttons on the end-of-game dialog.
   It doesn't really matter, but it seems better this way around in
same-gnome
   and I want to be consistent (callum).

Mahjongg:
 - Behave nicely when the requested theme cannot be found (rah).

Mines:
 - Use the new high scores widget. It looks like the old one though (callum).

Same GNOME:
 - High scores now work (callum).
 - The theme selector now works. I will also search in you home directory
   under $XDG_DATA_HOME/gnome-games/same-gnome/themes/2.10 $XDG_DATA_HOME is
   $HOME/.local/share if you haven't set it explicitly. A better UI for this
   will appear in the future. The system-wide theme location has also changed
   because the format has changed (callum).
 - The game-over dialog is much improved. It gives a quit option and, if you
   scored in the top 10, displays the high score table (callum).
 - The stones theme has been restored, but still has a slight animation
   glitch (callum).
 - Undo and Redo work (callum).
 - Fullscreen mode works (callum).
 - Online help works (callum).
