6. 0.84 Release cycle: Simon Schampijer and the release team have gotten the Sucrose Development 0.83.1 Release out the door (See [[~~DevelopmentTeam/Release/Releases/Sucrose~~/0.83.1|0,83.1]]). This is the first of the 0.84 cycle. The code base has seen many refactoring efforts: To improve performance several heavy shell dependencies have been dropped; the Journal and the shell service have been merged into the shell. The datastore has been rewritten (simplified) to improve maintainability while keeping the same API in place. We are now using Gconf to store the Sugar profile. Some enhancements have been made to the clipboard to provide visual consistency with the Sugar environment. Also, Sugar modules are being marked as STABLE / UNSTABLE / DEPRECATED (See [[~~DevelopmentTeam~~/API_policy|API Policy]]). And of course many many bugs have been fixed. Thanks to all who have been contributing to this new release.
