Abstract
The authors show the manner through which the recent generalization by Tsallis (1988) of the Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics becomes consistent with a generalized thermodynamics preserving the Legendre-transformation framework of standard thermodynamics. In addition to that they generalize the Shannon additivity.Keywords
