soas@lists.sugarlabs.org 05/27/2011 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.

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.
