= Sucrose 0.86 Release Notes =
== Introduction ==
[http://sugarlabs.org/go/Taxonomy#Sucrose:_The_interface.2C_plus_a_set_of_demonstration_activities Sucrose] 0.86 is the latest version of the Sugar education platform, consisting of [http://sugarlabs.org/go/Taxonomy#Glucose:_The_base_Sugar_environment Glucose], the base system environment; and [http://sugarlabs.org/go/Taxonomy#Fructose:_The_set_of_demonstration_activities Fructose], a set of demonstration activities.
Sucrose is released every six months and contains many new features, improvements, bug fixes, and translations. Sucrose 0.86 continues this tradition and is our third well-planned release to date.
You can learn more about Sugar itself by studying the [http://sugarlabs.org/go/What_is_Sugar%3F Sugar definition] or by reading the [http://www.sugarlabs.org/index.php?template=page&page=learners comic strip] about the learning platform from Dongyun Lee.
== What is new for users ==
=== Resume Activity ===
In order to make it easier to continue past work, the Home View will display recent activity entries in the activity Palette.
[[Image:Resume_0.84.png]]
You can choose to resume past entries or, with the '''Start''' option in the Palette, start a new instance of the activity.
[[Image:Start_new_0.84.png]]
When clicking on the activity icon in the Favorites View, the last entry will be resumed by default. This is based on the assumption, that in most cases, one want to resume previous work rather than creating from scratch.
== What is new for developers ==
The following changes are important for developers using the Sucrose 0.86 developer platform. If you're not interested in changes for developers, you can skip forward to Section [[0.86/Internationalization|Internationalization and Localization]].
=== Widgets ===
=== API ===
=== Dependencies ===
== What is new for packagers ==
