Sucrose 0.85.6 Release Notes

Announcement

This is the second development release in the 0.86 release cycle - see the 0.86/Roadmap#Schedule for more details. Note, that we are two weeks late with this release, as we wanted to land some of the features so we can get feedback on, especially the toolbar redesign. This will have no effect on the final release date.

We are getting closer to the feature freeze and a few features have been landed in this release. Please test them carefully and report any bug and workflow issues you find to get them in good shape for the release. A friendly BugSquad will be available to triage those bugs accordingly and the developers can never have enough bug food. If you have non-bug feedback about features you can use the sugar-devel mailing list to share it with us.

From a user point of view we want to highlight the following changes that have been made:

Compatibility

There are no known compatibility issues, as of today.
