Sucrose 0.81.2

Announcement

This release has many great improvements. Pippy and the Log activity fixed the platform specific issues and could be added to the release. Refinements have been made to the activity list view like adding installation dates of the activities, sorting by dates and searching in the list of activities.

The control panel has been refactored and now has a graphical interface as well as the command line one. Refactoring work has been done as well in the bundlebuilder and a speaker device has been added to the frame so you can control the volume of your speakers from there. In Etoys new phrases have been marked for translation to improve internationalization even more.

Make sure to check out the new palette features for links in the web-activity and try to quit the terminal activity by quitting the shell. As another little smoke test you could use the control panel to change your buddy to use a light fill color and check that the chat activity then uses black text for your messages.

Finally, if the frame pops up unintentionally during these actions you can now find a slider to set different activation delays for the frame in the control panel.
