From a user point of view we want to highlight on the following:

=== Naming alert on journal entry creation ===

The journal's search and browsing capabilities are less useful if all entries are named the same regardless of their actual content or

meaning to the user. That is why an alert has been added that encourage the user to set the title and other properties, like available in the journal detail view, of a newly created journal entry. This alert is only shown on the creation of a new journal entry, not on resume.

=== Make the journal entries in the favorites palette resumable ===

The favorites view in the home view displays the last entries for each activity and allows easy resuming. You can decide if this is the default beavior in the favorites view palette at the top right.

=== Journal ===

Tomeu has been doing a wonderful of bringing the journal implementation closer to it's design.The Object chooser can now be filtered by data type. A favourite filter has been added to the journal toolbar to give a better way of marking entries as 'important'. More regression fixes went into the support of removable devices after moving from maintaining an index file on the device to the use of POSIX calls.

=== New widgets ===

Benzea added a new ColorToolButton widget. It is already in use in the Write activity to select a color for the text.

=== Control Panel===

The 'About my XO' section has been renamed to 'About my Computer' to reflect the use of Sugar on non-XO hardware. Morgan added the possibility to change the jabber server without restarting Sugar.

=== Network Manager ===

Tech:

* separate debug settings from xsession #163

* remove the hacks for asking the X server for screenshots and use gtk.Widget.get_snapshot() instead

* Trivial port to GIO instead of GnomeVFS
