Sucrose 0.82 Release Notes

Introduction

What's New For Users

Graphical Control Panel

Sucrose 0.82 introduces a graphical user interface to modify the preferences. The command line interface is still available. Due to the request from many users we added an option that you can tweak the activation delay of the frame. The activation by hot corners can be turned off completely. Detailed information on each section and how to use the panel can be found here.

The main page of the control panel with the available sections

Session management (marco)

New activity startup notification (marco)

Object chooser improvements (tomeu)

Feedback for school server registration

Web activity: autocompletion of bookmarks and history (marco)

Web activity: Find in context (erikos)

Web activity: custom certificates "support" (marco)

New palettes in Browse (tomeu)

Palettes provide ways to invoke actions on graphical elements, and in this release we have added to Browse two new palettes:

Palette allowing to copy images to the clipboard


Palette allowing to follow links and copy them to the clipboard

Chat with non-sugar Jabber clients (morgs)

Multiple layouts in the home view and ability to move icons around (tomeu)

Users have asked insistently for a better way to organize lots of activities in the Sugar shell, so we have implemented new ways to list activities and operate on them.

Favorites organized in a ring and layout switcher
Favorites organized freely by the user

Window navigation using tab (benzea)

What's New For Developers

Internationalization (i18n) and Localization (l10n)
