UNDER CONSTRICTION - THIS IS A STUB

Sucrose 0.84.0 Release Notes

Announcement

From a user point of view we want to highlight the following:

Display recent activities in the home view

In order to make easier to continue past work, the home view will display recent entries in the activity palettes.

Thanks everyone for your great contributions!

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 XO Software 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
