= Sucrose 0.89.5 Release Notes =
== Announcement ==
This is our development release number 5 in the [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/0.90/Roadmap 0.90 development cycle]! This is our Beta release! We would like to invite you for testing now. The plan is to have a Soas build with the latest 0.90 Sugar packages available by the end of the week. We will send another announcement when it is ready for download.
We now reached String Freeze! We encourage translators to translate the new strings that has been introduced by the various new Features.
Furthermore Tomeu Vizoso made great progress in fixing integration bugs introduced by the "Remove PS" Feature.
The Etoys team reports that a the new
[[Features/Remove_Presence_Service |This Feature]] removes the need for the Presence Service, meaning that activities and the Shell need to interact directly with non-Sugar-specific services such as Telepathy.
[[Features/Spiral_Home_View | The Spiral Home View]] is an enhancement to the Home View to enable the display of more icons. The idea is that after the circle becomes too large, rather than shrinking the icons, it morphs into a spiral. Only after the spiral no longer fits on the screen do the icons shrink.
[[Features/Journal_Sort | New filtering options]] have been added to the Journal. You can sort now by size, creation date and modification date.
Thanks everyone for your great contributions!

==Fructose news==
No news.
== What is new for packagers ==
New API has been added to telepathy-gabble and telepathy-salut to support the work on the collaboration framework, which results in needing 0.9.16 for tp-gabble and 0.3.13 for tp-salut.
One of the goals of the collaboration refactoring was dropping functionality in sugar that has been implemented in [http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/Mission%20Control telepathy-mission-control], so Sugar now depends on tp-mission-control 5.4.3.
