Sucrose 0.89.4 Release Notes

Announcement

This is our development release number 4 in the 0.90 development cycle!

We now reached String Freeze! We are glad to announce that two more Features have been pushed.

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.
