In order to make it easier to continue past work, the ''home view'' will display recent entries in the activity ''Palette''. You can choose to resume the entries or start a new instance of the activity with the palette '''Start''' option.

When clicking on the activity icon in the favorites view, the last entry will be resumed by default. This is based on the assumption, that in most of the cases, one want to resume previous work rather than creating from scratch.

There were some great improvements to the ''View Source'' concept in this release cycle. You can display the source code of an activity using the activity Palette in the ''Frame'' or by using the keyboard short cut '''Shift+Alt+V''' when in an activity.

The view source dialog will allow you to examine the content of the activity bundle and display it's files respectively. Further it allows you to survey the source of the current activity instance (the document). In the case of the Browse activity this would be the source of the HTML page currently displayed.

The coloured activity icon represents the source of the activity instance. The outlined activity icon represent the bundle source for the activity itself, the template. We use this to help draw a distinction between the "activity instance" and the "activity bundle"

Using the uncoloured outline to represent the bundle vs the coloured icon to represent an instance has been the design cue all along.

A lot of work has been going into bringing the Journal implementation closer to its design. The ''Object chooser'' can now be filtered by data type.

A ''favourite filter'' has been added to the Journal toolbar to give a better way of marking entries as 'important'. More regression fixes went into the support of removable devices after moving from maintaining an index file on the device to the use of POSIX calls.

The Journal entry ''palette'' has seen some great improvements. We added a 'View Details' option that brings you to the details of the entry. Furthermore you do not need to go to the detail view any more to select the activity you want to start or resume the entry with - this option is now available in the ''palette'' as well.

The Journal's search and browsing capabilities are less useful if all entries are named the same regardless of their actual content or meaning to the user. That is why an alert has been added that encourages the user to set the title and other properties of a newly created Journal entry. This alert is only shown on the creation of a new Journal entry, not on resume.

Sugar now supports setting up a priority list of languages. Not all the activities have translations for all languages. You can create a list of languages in the Control panel that are used to display messages in place of a non-existent translation.

The 'About my XO' section has been renamed to 'About my Computer' to reflect the use of Sugar on non-XO hardware. As well the fields of the page has been changed accordingly. The 'Power' section is only displayed on XO hardware since the functionality is currently only available there.
