Since, this date is Feature, API, String freeze everyone was busy getting their features in.
+
This is the Final Release in our 0.84 development cycle! Thanks to our testers the developers were able to bring in bug fixes to stabilize the platform. And the translators were busy to get all the strings translated. All the details what have changed from a user point of view will be handled in the detailed 0.84 release notes.  
−
 
 
−
From a user point of view we want to highlight the following:
 
−
 
 
−
=== Naming alert on journal entry creation ===
 
−
The journal's search and browsing capabilities are less useful if all entries are named the same regardless of their actual content or
 
−
meaning to the user. That is why an alert has been added that encourage the user to set the title and other properties, like available in the journal detail view, of a newly created journal entry. This alert is only shown on the creation of a new journal entry, not on resume.
 
−
 
 
−

−
 
 
−
=== 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.
 
−
 
 
−
[[Image:ResumeEntry.png‎]]
 
−
 
 
−
You can decide if you want the activity icons to represent the last journal entry with a new setting in the favourites view palette:
 
−
 
 
−
[[Image:SetResumeOption.png‎]]
 
−
 
 
−
=== Journal ===
 
−
Tomeu Vizoso has been doing a wonderful work of bringing the journal implementation closer to it's design.The Object chooser can now be filtered by data type.
 
−
 
 
−
[[Image:ObjctChooser.png‎]]
 
−
 
 
−
A favourite filter has been added to the journal toolbar to give a better way of marking entries as 'important'. More regression fixes went into the support of removable devices after moving from maintaining an index file on the device to the use of POSIX calls.
 
−
 
 
−
[[Image:FavoriteEntry.png‎]]
 
−
 
 
−
=== New ColorToolButton Widget ===
 
−
Benjamin Berg added a new ColorToolButton widget. It is already in use in the Write activity to select a colour for the text.
 
−
[[Image:ColorToolButton.png‎]]
 
−
 
 
−
=== Control Panel===
 
−
The 'About my XO' section has been renamed to 'About my Computer' to reflect the use of Sugar on non-XO hardware. Morgan Collett added the possibility to change the jabber server without restarting Sugar.
 
−
 
 
−
=== Autoconnect to Access Point ===
 
−
NetworkManager does autoconnect on Sugar startup to the last Access Point you were connected successfully to.
 
−
 
 
−
=== Logout Option ===
 
−
Sayamindu Dasgupta added a logout option to the xomenu. Eben Eliason added the accessibility of the xomenu to the groups and mesh view and to the friends tray in the frame.
 
−
 
 
−
[[Image:Logout.png‎]]
 
−
 
 
−
=== New Logic for the devices positions ===
 
−
The logic to position the frame devices has been reworked. Plug in your devices and try it out.
 
−
[500 external devices eg. USB drive]
 
−
[400 3rd party devices eg. speech]
 
−
[300 transient connection devices eg. AP]
 
−
[200 transient devices eg. camera]
 
−
[100 static devices eg. battery]
 
−
 
 
−
[[Image:FrameDevices.png‎]]
 
−
 
 
−
=== Table of Content Support in Read  ===
 
−
The Read activity now shows the Table of Content for PDF files which support this feature. This eases navigation of large PDF files considerably.
 
−
 
 
−
[[Image:Read toc.png|480px]]
 
−
 
 
−
=== Acknowledgment ===
 
−
A big thanks goes to all the translators, that are working so hard to make Sugar a terrific localized environment and the infrastructure team that provides our members with tools and services to make their live easier.
 
  
 
Thanks everyone for your great contributions!

Sucrose 0.84.0 Release Notes

Announcement

This is the Final Release in our 0.84 development cycle! Thanks to our testers the developers were able to bring in bug fixes to stabilize the platform. And the translators were busy to get all the strings translated. All the details what have changed from a user point of view will be handled in the detailed 0.84 release notes.

Thanks everyone for your great contributions!

Compatibility

When you upgrade a computer that was running previously Sucrose 0.82,

  • 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 0.84.x to an earlier version,

  • The datastore is incompatible, so all data in the journal won't be accessible (but will be still there)
  • You will be prompted to enter a new name and color like it would happen on first boot

Most of the activities in Sucrose 0.84.x should be compatible with Sucrose 0.82. An exception is Browse, which depends on new versions of Hulahop, Read which depend on the latest version of Evince and Write which depends on the latest version of libabiword.
