* [[:Category:Feature Ready for Release Manager|Feature awaiting review]].
−
 
+
* [[:Category:Feature Accepted 0.86 | Features accepted for the 0.86 release]].
−
* better non-sugarized activity support

−
 
 
−
==== New toolbar widget ====
 
−
* add new widget and switch basic activities to it
 
−
* keep the old widget if some of the activities do not change in this cycle
 
−
* [[Design_Team/Designs/Toolbars | Eben's mockups]]
 
−
 
 
−
==== Browse ====
 
−
* tabs support (open popup windows in tabs, saving of tabs history, standard behavior of Browse should not change -> no open tab by default)
 
−
* better naming of files to be uploaded (change temp name to something based on the title)
 
−
* export for offline viewing (Web page - HTML only, Web page - Complete)
 
−
* creating of web pages (highlighting support in Write, Activity with special HTML based features(can happen outside of the official cycle))
 
−
* bookmarks (global bookmarks, at the moment we only have session bookmarks and the autocompletion functionality)
 
−
 
 
−
==== Tags in the Journal ====
 
−
* auto completion for already existing tags, tag clouds
 
−
** its implemented in Library activity as well
 
−
 
 
−
==== More Accelerators (short cuts) ====
 
−
* make sure we use the accelerators where possible, get discussion about which modifiers to use for which settings as early as possible going
 
−
 
 
−
==== Printing support ====
 
−
* [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Print_Support Google summer of code project]

−
* the search is recently builds disabled
 
−
 
 
−

−
* Make collaboration more stable
 
−
 
 
−

−
==== List views ====
 
−
*in the mesh view a list view of the access points
 
−
* switching to use gtk-tree-view for the lists (journal, activity) - this has accessibility support already
 
−
 
 
−
==== Mesh View ====
 
−
* use buddy color to seed the position to get a more stable positioning in the mesh view

−
==== Ad-hoc networking ====
 
−
* as an alternative to the mesh
 
−
 
 
−
==== Bindings ====
 
−
* Moving Sugar to [http://live.gnome.org/PyBank PyBank] to save memory and improve startup speed. Pybank builds the bindings as you need them, so you don't import all the bindings for gtk at startup of every process.

==== API work ====
 
−
* backwards compability
 
−
* (http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/sugar-port will take care for the activities needs for a working activity on 0.82 for example) see "Decoupling of Sucrose" section [[User:Alsroot|Alsroot]] 16:16, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 
−
* (?) start moving to pure dbus interface for glucose
 
−
** dbus method to resume/open activities(instead of sugar-toolkit API)
 
−
*** something simple like dbus_object.activate(uid) or
 
−
** etc.
 
−
 
 
−
==== Decoupling of Sucrose ====
 
−
 
 
−
The major idea is to have tough core(with stable release cycle) <=> dbus-API/sugar-toolkit-API <=> unlimited count of activities that uses core functionality and do not follow 6 months release cycle(which could be overmuch for activity).
 
−
 
 
−
It could looks like:
 
−
* '''core''' - glucose, six months(or so) release cycle, w/o any activities only API
 
−
* '''bridge''' - [[Development_Team/sugar-port|sugar-port]] for example, between all(in ideal) already deployed sugars and activities i.e. it provides backwards compatibility(so the same activity code will work on all sugars) and at the same time provides features from newest sugar(so the same activity code will use last sugar's features)
 
−
* '''world''' - the rest of sugar world i.e. fructose/honey (but now there is no differences between them) that use core directly, if all deployed sugars have the same API for desired functionality(for example in case of preselected mime type, ObjectsChooser has different API for 0.82-0.86), or use bridge otherwise.<br>imho another point to have activities outside of core release cycle - activities have more shorter release cycle then core has
 
−
 
 
−
And of course deployers can form any sets from these components

−
==== Version support for datastore ====
 
−
 
 
−
See [[Version_support_for_datastore/Proposal]].
 
−
 
 
−
==== Datastore features that could benefit Library ====
 
−
 
 
−
These features can benefit [[Activities/Library]] activity. At present(for 0.82/0.84) Library uses "rich" datastore client which fetches all Journal objects to make short list of objects(by collapsing all versions to one item), moreover it has to unzip .xo bundles to get ''bundle_id'' value. So its not good.
 
−
 
 
−
With all these features implemented Library can use "thin" datastore client and not fetch all objects, just make proper request for datasotre.find() to get sorted and collapsed objects by portions (by using offset/limit find() arguments).
 
−
 
 
−
<strong>Get collapsed find()'s resultset</strong>
 
−
Let user call datastore.find() to get list of collapsed objects(all versions by one item).
 
−
 
 
−
That should mean that any datastore object should have "object id":
 
−
* ''activity_id'' for objects that were generated by activities (already implemented)
 
−
* ''bundle_id'' for .xo bundles in the Journal
 
−
* ''uid'' for other objecets (already implemented)
 
−
 
 
−
<strong>History of collapsed object</strong>
 
−
Let datastore clients browse history of collapsed objects:
 
−
* for ''activity_id'' objects - sort by timestamp (already impelemented)
 
−
* for ''bundle_id'' objects - sort by ''activity_version''(or so) field
 
−
 
 
−
<strong>Sort find()'s resultset</strong>
 
−
Let datastore clients sort objects by any field(not only predefined like uid, activity_id etc).
 
−
 
 
−
<strong>Sort by buddies count</strong>
 
−
 
 
−
==== Security ====
 
−
[http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/593 Add support] for the current version of [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Rainbow Rainbow] so
 
−
# security flaws in Browse (which are the norm rather than the exception) don't allow an attacker to take over the machine and
 
−
# programming mistakes cannot affect other activities (like deleting all Journal contents).
 
−
 
 
−
==== Testing ====
 
−
Add some automated testing to catch bugs earlier and ease integration work:
 
−
* [http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/594 SugarBot] (activity-level testing)
 
−
* some system-level tests (e.g. verify datastore works correctly)
 
−
* [http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/595 regression tests]
 
−
 
 
−
==== Old items ====
 
−
* Accessibility in Sugar [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2009-April/013665.html]
 
−
* [[Unified Bundles]] merge .xol bundles to .xo

Sucrose Development

Sucrose 0.85.x is an unstable development series intended for testing and development purposes. Sucrose uses odd minor version numbers to indicate development status, so this unstable 0.85.x series will finally become the 0.86 stable release.
