API Changes

This page documents known API changes in OLPC releases.

Sugar now has an API policy documented at Sugar API policy but that takes effect as of 0.84.

XO Software Release 8.2.0

Documenting the 8.2.0 API changes is a work in progress... Please contribute!

XO Software Release 8.2.0 uses Sugar (sucrose) release 0.82. See http://sugarlabs.org/go/ReleaseTeam/Releases/Sucrose/0.82

Sugar API Changes

Deprecations
sugar.activity.activity
self._shared_activity is deprecated in 8.2.0 and will be removed in 9.1.0. Use self.shared_activity instead.
Additions
sugar.presence.sugartubeconn
Use SugarTubeConnection instead of TubeConnection to get resolution of Telepathy handles to Buddies without needing the get_buddy boilerplate function. See this commit to Connect to see how to use it.
