If Sugar sees no "known" network (the learner has not been connected to an currently available Access Point before) when it starts, it does autoconnect to an Ad-hoc network. First we try if there is an Ad-hoc network that is used by other learners in the area, if not we default to channel 1.

	== Announcement ==		== Announcement ==
	This is our ~~second~~ release in the [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/0.90/Roadmap 0.90 development cycle].		This is our third release in the [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/0.90/Roadmap 0.90 development cycle]!

	~~There~~ have been ~~many great fixes~~ already helping to make Sugar even more stable. From a user point of view we want to highlight the addition of the keybindings for accessing the Journal (F5) and the Frame (F6). Daniel Drake has as well changed the appearance of the mesh device to be only present when the mesh is active (this is the same behavior than that of the wired device).		We now reached Feature Freeze! We are glad to announce that two Features have been pushed already.

	On the ~~activity side~~ many ~~fixes have been going into Pippy version 37~~, ~~especially on fixing layout issues on different resolutions. Thanks~~ to the ~~Pippy team for all your hard work!~~		A [[Features/Enhanced_color_selector \| new color selector]] is available for the control panel, thanks to the ongoing efforts of Walter Bender and the design team. We already wanted to land the Feature in 0.88 but had so many ideas that we did not reach consensus in the end. Now, we are excited to hear what the learners think about it.

	~~The new Browse maintainers have~~ not ~~waited long with~~ a ~~new release~~. ~~Shortcuts for back~~/~~forward/reload~~, ~~support~~ for ~~CAcerts~~ and ~~user visible support for tabs~~. ~~The Browse team would like~~ to ~~have feedback especially on~~ the ~~latter~~. ~~Thanks again~~ to ~~Lucian and Sascha for taking on this valuable task~~.		To mimic the mesh behavior on devices where mesh hardware is not available and make the "under a tree"-scenario possible the Sugar Ad-hoc networks have been added. [[Features/Sugar_Adhoc_Networks \|The Feature]] will add three default Ad-hoc networks, for channel 1, 6 and 11. They will be represented with designated icons in the neighborhood view. If Sugar sees no "known" network (the learner has not been connected to an currently available Access Point before) when it starts, it does autoconnect to an Ad-hoc network. First we try if there is an Ad-hoc network that is used by other learners in the area, if not we default to channel 1.

			Another great Feature will be available in 0.89.4. This features 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. As it touches three modules reviewing took a few more days. Since it is the mayor 0.90 Feature we gave it a deadline exception. The code has been pushed as I am writing these lines...

	There is also a new bundle from the Calculate team around Gary and Reinier. The activity does use the new activity toolbar introduced in 0.86 now. From a first glance the interface has improved a lot, please report back what you think about it.

	We encourage people to start doing testing. The sooner the developers get feedback about their changes the better. The Fedora team is doing nightly builds which contains the Soas images [3]. And as the Fedora packager team is doing a fantastic job at packaging the latest tarballs the release should be packaged up soon. I will do another announcement
	~~once they are available. By now you can already test the 0.89.1 release if you grab the latest image from [~~http://~~alt~~.~~fedoraproject~~.org/~~pub~~/~~alt~~/~~nightly-composes/soas/ here].~~		http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/0.90/Feature_List
