This is the second development release in the 0.90 release cycle - see the [[0.90/Roadmap#Schedule]] for more details.  
+
This is our second release in the 0.90 development cycle [1].
 +
 
 +
There have been many great fixes already helping to make Sugar even more
 +
stable. From a user point of view we want to highlight the addition of
 +
the keybindings for accessing the Journal (F5) and the Frame (F6).
 +
Daniel Drake has as well changed the appearance of the mesh device to be
 +
only present when the mesh is active (this is the same behavior than
 +
that of the wired device).
 +
 
 +
On the activity side many fixes have been going into Pippy version 37,
 +
especially on fixing layout issues on different resolutions. Thanks to
 +
the Pippy team for all your hard work!
 +
 
 +
The new Browse maintainers have not waited long with a new release.
 +
Shortcuts for back/forward/reload, support for CAcerts and user visible
 +
support for tabs. The Browse team would like to have feedback especially
 +
on the latter. Thanks again to Lucian and Sascha for taking on this
 +
valuable task.
 +
 
 +
There is also a new bundle from the Calculate team around Gary and
 +
Reinier. The activity does use the new activity toolbar introduced in
 +
0.86 now. From a first glance the interface has improved a lot, please
 +
report back what you think about it.
 +
 
 +
The full release notes with the tarballs can be found at [2].
 +
 
 +
We encourage people to start doing testing. The sooner the developers
 +
get feedback about their changes the better. The Fedora team is doing
 +
nightly builds which contains the Soas images [3]. And as the Fedora
 +
packager team is doing a fantastic job at packaging the latest tarballs
 +
the release should be packaged up soon. I will do another announcement
 +
once they are available. By now you can already test the 0.89.1 release
 +
if you grab the latest image from [3].
    
Thanks everyone for your great contributions!
