;Sugar Activities (Fructose): Pippy, the Sugar Python editor got a major overhaul. It supports multiple tabs and numerous new export mechanisms. In combination with Turtle Blocks, it is now possible to create new Sugar Activities entirely within Sugar itself: (1) Create a Turtle Blocks project; (2) Export the project as Python; (3) Import the Python code into Pippy; and (4) Export the Python code as a Sugar Activity. You can even create a Sugar icon for your project using Turtle Blocks, which can export projects to Python. The Chat activity had a major stylistic overhaul.
