This is our development release number 5 in the [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/0.90/Roadmap 0.90 development cycle]! This is our Beta release! We would like to invite you for testing now. The plan is to have a Soas build with the latest 0.90 Sugar packages available by the end of the week. We will send another announcement when it is ready for download.

We now reached String Freeze! We encourage translators to translate the new strings that has been introduced by the various new Features.

We now reached [[Development_Team/Release#String_Freeze | String Freeze]], no string changes may be made without confirmation from the localization team and notification to the release team! We encourage translators to translate the new strings that has been introduced by the various new Features.

The Etoys team reports that the first beta release of Etoys 4.1 is now available. The biggest change is that stopping the Etoys activity will no longer save to the Journal. To save, you will have to press the keep button. The octagonal stop button is replaced by a circular exit button to indicate the new behavior. It puts up a warning before actually quitting. More about the rationale for this change can be found [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2010-August/026398.html here].

[[Features/Remove_Presence_Service |This Feature]] 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.

~~[[Features/Spiral_Home_View |~~ The ~~Spiral Home View]]~~ is ~~an enhancement~~ to the ~~Home View~~ to ~~enable~~ the ~~display of more icons~~. The ~~idea~~ is ~~that after~~ the ~~circle becomes too large, rather than shrinking the icons, it morphs into~~ a ~~spiral~~. ~~Only after~~ the ~~spiral no longer fits on the screen do the icons shrink~~.

~~[[Features~~/~~Journal_Sort | New filtering options]~~] ~~have been added to the Journal. You can sort now by size, creation date and modification date~~.

Thanks everyone for your great contributions!
