==What's New For Users==
==What's New For Users==
=== Graphical Control Panel ===
===Sugar===
==== Graphical Control Panel ====
Sucrose 0.82 introduces a graphical user interface to modify the preferences. The command line interface is still available. Due to the request from many users we added an option that you can tweak the activation delay of the frame. The activation by hot corners can be turned off completely. Detailed information on each section and how to use the panel can be found [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sugar_Control_Panel#The_graphical_user_interface here].

=== Session management ===
==== Session management ====
In previous releases, if you shut down the system without closing the activities you would risk to lose you work. This is now fixed, all the user data is saved on shutdown.

=== Web activity: autocompletion of bookmarks and history ===
==== Multiple layouts in the home view and ability to move icons around ====
Users have asked insistently for a better way to organize lots of activities in the Sugar shell, so we have implemented new ways to list activities and operate on them.
All installed activities are shown in a list that can be searched. Activities can be removed from there and marked as "favorite". This means that these favorite activities will appear in the more restricted views shown below. The goal is to offer a simpler view with just the most used activities.

If you type a word in the address entry you will be presented with a list of sites that you already visited, bookmarked, or seen in a shared browsing session.

==== Find in context (erikos) ====
==== Certificates exceptions ====
Some websites provide custom or invalid SSL certificates, which Browse usually refuse to load for security reasons. Unfortunately this is very common and prevent to access several web sites. We added the ability for the user to make an exception and load the site anyway.
==== Contextual palettes ====
Palettes provide secondary information and ways to invoke actions on graphical elements. In this release we have added to Browse the ability to copy links and images to the clipboard (drag and drop is more discoverable but less convenient sometimes) and following links.
