Peter Robinson:
We've delayed the release slightly in co-operation with Fedora release
engineering to get a patch to support networking. I'm expecting the
release to happen next Tuesday at this point. I'll be working on it
over the weekend to clean up some lose ends. As it turns out there was
also an issue that caused persistent overlays to fail on the live
images so its good to get some of the zero day fixes in as well.

Look at thumbnail to right===>

http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/File:F15-727_remix-1.JPG

Thanks! AFAICT this is intentional: Sugar groups buddies (visualised as
XO icons) around the activity they are working on; those are the buddies
you see directly beside the activity icons. Buddies that are working on
a different activity or no shared activity at all shouldn't be displayed
in proximity to the activity icon (otherwise you'd assume they work on
this activity); that's the clear space ("halo") you're seeing.
