sugar

 * shell breaks if system bus cannot be accessed
 * sugar-emulator: kill X server on exit

sugar-toolkit

 * Sascha Silbe: locate rainbow using PATH instead of hardcoding the location
 * Sascha Silbe: don't use rainbow if it has been uninstalled, but the config file remains Some distros retain config files after removing packages, so /etc/olpc-security might exist even if rainbow is not installed.
 * Daniel Drake: Apply activity font settings earlier Fixes some minor changes in toolbar appearance that my previous work unintentionally introduced.

sugar-base

 * sugar.logger.trace: lots of debug output (silbe)

What is new for packagers
cjson -> simplejson: Sugar moved back to use simplejson instead of cjson. cjson has a big bug dealing with slashes, this is a significant long-term bug and upstream has not been responsive other than acknowledging it. This bug breaks journal entry bundles.
