0.90/Notes
Sucrose 0.90 Release Notes
Introduction
What is new for users
What is new for distributors and deployers
What's new for developers
The following changes are important for developers using the Sucrose 0.90 developer platform.
Widgets
No new widgets have been added to the toolkit in the 0.90 development cycle.
API
Dependencies
New API has been added to telepathy-gabble and telepathy-salut to support the work on the collaboration framework, which results in needing 0.9.16 for tp-gabble and 0.3.13 for tp-salut.
One of the goals of the collaboration refactoring was dropping functionality in sugar that has been implemented in telepathy-mission-control, so Sugar now depends on tp-mission-control 5.4.3.
Activity Authors guidelines
There are still many activities that do not use the new activity toolbars introduced in 0.86. We encourage the switch to use the new toolbars as there have been huge improvements in usability (e.g. stopping an activity).
Jim Simmons has written a guide to writing Sugar Activities (Please see Make your own Sugar Activities!) which details how to convert your activity to the new toolbars without compromising performance on old Sugar systems.
What's new for packagers
Compatibility
There a no known compatibility issues, as of today.

Note that it may take a while until the release is packaged for each distribution. Please stay tuned for distribution specific announcements and watch out for updates at Get Sugar.
