Release of the free racing game SuperTuxKart 1.1

Available Release Super Tux Kart 1.1, free racing game with lots of karts, tracks and features. Game code spreads licensed under GPLv3. Binary assemblies available for Linux, Android, Windows and macOS.

The process has begun relicensing SuperTuxKart code base for a dual license GPLv3 + MPLv2, in connection with which requests were sent to the participants who participated in the development to obtain consent to change the license. Using MPLv2 in addition to GPLv3 will solve problems with placing the game in the Steam and Apple App store directories, pre-installing on game consoles, and using open libraries that are incompatible with the GPL (for example, openssl). The dual license is also noted as a better option in light of the upcoming plans to separate the game engine from the main game.

In the new version:

• Added an option to the game pause dialog to change the type of touch screen controller;
  

• Improved online multiplayer, including network lag issues resolved, IPv6 support implemented, synchronization improved, and support for AI bots on local servers added;
  

• Improved user interface. Adapted for high-resolution screens (up to 4K) and optimized font size;
  

• Added new track Pumpkin Park;
  

• Improved version for mobile devices and added iOS platform support;
• Added support for complex text and emoji layouts in chat and dialogs;
  

• Added race history mode timer to estimate how fast you need to complete the track.
