Since, this date is Feature, API, String freeze everyone was busy getting their features in.
Thanks everyone for the great contributions!
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.

You can decide if you want the activity icons to represent the last journal entry with a new setting in the favourites view palette:

=== Journal ===
Tomeu Vizoso has been doing a wonderful work of bringing the journal implementation closer to its 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.

=== 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.

=== 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.

=== 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]

=== 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.

=== 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!
