Sucrose 0.86 Release Notes
Introduction
Sucrose 0.86 is the latest version of the Sugar education platform, consisting of Glucose, the base system environment; and Fructose, a set of demonstration activities.
Sucrose is released every six months and contains many new features, improvements, bug fixes, and translations. Sucrose 0.86 continues this tradition and is our third well-planned release to date.
You can learn more about Sugar itself by studying the Sugar definition or by reading the comic strip about the learning platform from Dongyun Lee.
