0.84/0.83.2 Notes

Sucrose 0.83.2 Release Notes

Announcement

This is our second Development Release in the 0.84 cycle.

Compatibility

When you upgrade a computer running an earlier version,

• The old datastore will be updated to the new format.
• Your old profile (in .sugar/default/config) will be imported into GConf

If you later downgrade from Sucrose 0.83.x to an earlier version,

• The datastore is incompatible
• You will be prompted to enter all your profile settings like you are on first boot

Most of the activities in Sucrose 0.83.x should be compatible with Sucrose 0.82 , the version shipped with OLPC Release 8.2.0. An exception is Browse, which depends on new versions of XULRunner and Hulahop. Read likewise may soon depend on a new version of Evince
