Glucose news

sugar

shell breaks if system bus cannot be accessed #1403
sugar-emulator: kill X server on exit #1440
move ~/.i18n parsing from sugar-emulator to sugar #1441
can't create ad-hoc network when name is 7+ characters #1604

sugar-toolkit

Sascha Silbe: locate rainbow using PATH instead of hardcoding the location #1436
Sascha Silbe: don't use rainbow if it has been uninstalled, but the config file remains #1317 Some distros retain config files after removing packages, so /etc/olpc-security might exist even if rainbow is not installed.
Daniel Drake: Apply activity font settings earlier #1607 Fixes some minor changes in toolbar appearance that my previous work unintentionally introduced.

sugar-base

sugar.logger.trace(): lots of debug output (silbe)

What is new for packagers

cjson -> simplejson: Sugar moved back to use simplejson instead of cjson. cjson has a big bug dealing with slashes, this is a significant long-term bug and upstream has not been responsive other than acknowledging it. This bug breaks journal entry bundles #1553.
