+GCompris 8.4
+------------
+* Fixed "-l list" option to load the menu list from the base.
+  option was not working when boards are compiled statically.
+* Now we don't crash if we cannot find a single image at startup.
+* Fixed a major bug, target activity is broken, the target never reach it's goal.
+* Moved the lock file checking downstairs in the startup
+  sequence to avoid for exemple 'gcompris -v' to being locked.
+* missingletter: GCompris was asserting when you click on the target image
+* Now all voices are in a separated svn module.
+  The voices must now be put under boards/voices/<locale> instead of
+  boards/sounds/<locale>
+  To get the voices installed in the proper place, simply run:
+  make update-voices
+  Re-encoded voices in a lower bitrate, saving 40MB on the tarball
+* Chronos activity: removed hardcoded translations
+* doubleentry: fixed call to audio voices.
+* algorithm: Fixed the skip of a level after the call to the help.
+* shapegame:
+  - Fixed bad reference to hand image to catch small icon
+  - fixed, it was missing a X offset coming from
+    the box of shapes on the left. It was mostly visible in the doubleentry activity where
+    it was not easy to spot the target.
+  - use the larger button for the tooltip (country name too large)
+  - Translated The Text In Tooltip Were Invalid.
+  - Removed text shadow as it isn't always cute depending on the fonts.
+* memory: space sound 2 was twice in the list. If they were
+  both selected in the game, the children was proposed the same sound
+  in 4 spot making the game bugged.
+* login: fixed a little bug, in text entry mode
+ it was not displayed again if you open/close the help.
 
+New translation:
+* Added Afrikaans support.

+-----------------
+* Switched GCompris to GPL V3 and Later.
+* Translated The Text In shapegame Tooltips Were Invalid

+* GCompris was asserting when you clicked on the target image in
+  missingletter activity.
+
+GCompris 8.4BETA1
+-----------------
+* sdl_mixer replaced by gstreamer.
+* Fixed falling words for arabic
+* Internal static gnomecanvas and libart
+* The click on letter activity was only proposing the first 4 letters
+  of the alphabet, whatever the level.
+* Fixed running on machines which
+  have / use prefix/lib64 instead of prefix/lib
+* Fixed concerns releated to the fullscreen mode
+* Fixed the gnuchess search path to accept gnome-gnuchess
+* Major fix, GCompris was crashing if you clicked during bonus display
