Summary of changes
- Sugar
- Add age and gender to intro pages and About Me settings; configurable limits imposed on the number of open activities; activities can be limited to opening a single instance at a time; improvements to the updater; reworking of wireless control panel; improvements to batch processing; improvements to View Source; removal of OLPC-specific code from Control Panel; improvements to the layout of the Web Accounts Control Panel; improvements to the layout of the Languages Control Panel; improvements to the Journal toolbar filters; improvements to the Sugar notification system; new mechanism for adjusting microphone input level.
- Sugar Toolkit
- Conversion to gsettings; improvements to mimetype handling; Journal searching; inhibit suspend while activity is sharing
- Sugar Artwork
- New icons for backup and restore; age and gender; document-open. Improvements to the battery-charging icons. Some style improvements.
- Sugar Activities (Fructose)
- Pippy, the Sugar Python editor got a major overhaul. It supports multiple tabs and numerous new export mechanisms. In combination with Turtle Blocks, it is now possible to create new Sugar Activities entirely within Sugar itself: (1) Create a Turtle Blocks project; (2) Export the project as Python; (3) Import the Python code into Pippy; and (4) Export the Python code as a Sugar Activity. You can even create a Sugar icon for your project using Turtle Blocks, which can export projects to Python. The Chat activity had a major stylistic overhaul.
- Other Sugar Activities (Honey)
- Major updates to Maze, Spirolaterals, Fraction Bounce, Words, Music Painter, et al.
What is new for users
- limit the number of open activities
- limit certain activities to one open instance at a time
- the proper icon appears on the Frame when running non-Sugar activities

What's new for developers
See [1]
- icon_size is deprecated (use pixel_size)
- Conversion to gsettings (gconf is deprecated)
- max_participants is moved to activity.info and is "honored", i.e., users will not be able to join an activity where max_participants has been reached until someone drops out. (max_participants as specified in activity.py is deprecated.)
How to contribute with testing
Testing and reporting issues is a big help for the developing team.
