We're pleased to announce GNU Typist 2.9.

This release contains several new features, the most important of which
is surely full UTF-8 support. Most GNU/Linux distributions now come with
terminals set to use UTF-8. This should fix the configuration problems
that non-US-ASCII users have been having.

This release also includes new lessons for the Colemak keyboard layout
(more info about Colemak available at http://colemak.com/), the facility
to track your personal best typing scores and several new translations.

Changes in 2.9:
    - Full UTF-8 support, by Felix Natter <fnatter@gmx.net>
    - New Colemak typing lessons, by Tim Marston <edam@waxworlds.org>
    - Many new international lessons imported from KTouch 1.6 and
      update of the German tipptrainer 0.6.0 lesson
    - New Spanish manual from smc <smc@manticore.es>
    - Tracking of personal best scores, by Tim Marston
      <edam@waxworlds.org>
    - New Polish translation, by Jakub Bogusz <qboosh@pld-linux.org>
    - New Turkish translation, by Gökçen Eraslan <gokcen@pardus.org.tr>
    - We are dropping support for the DJGPP compiler (DOS), although the
      MinGW GCC compiler is still supported.
