The Keep button has been deprecated. The main reason was that many learners confused it with a save button and thought they would need to use it to save their works. To make a duplicate of an entry you can use the duplicate functionality that has been added to the entry palette in the Journal.

The copy option in the Journal entry palette has been enhanced. It allows to copy to an external device and has an option to copy to the clipboard. The same enhancements have been made to the palette in the detail view. The palette for a file on an external device allows to copy to the Journal and to the clipboard. The detail view has been changed accordingly as well.

In previous versions when you clicked on the icon in the detail views it copied directly to the clipboard. This functionality has been moved to the palette itself, on left click the palette is opened and the learner is presented with the copy options.

Gonzalo has been working on a new startup animation using the alpha value of the icon. This fixes the issue where we did not see the startup screen immediatly after clicking on the icon and reduces the startup time a bit. Here is a short demo video of the affect, the XO on the right side is the one using the alpha value to do the animation.

The activity search in the Favorites View has been enabled. This means faster access to your tools and more time for doing. Technically the alpha value of icons is used to differentiate between a matching and a non-matching result. The same design is used now in the neighborhood view as well.

== How to contribute with [[0.94/Testing|testing]] ==
Even so we have released now 0.94 there will be stable updates for this release. It is very important to get feedback from you if you find bugs as early as possible and to get a stable release at the end. The order of stability depends among other things as well on '''you'''.
If you find bugs please report them into the [http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ Sugar Labs bug tracker] indicating the 0.94.x version in the ticket version field. If you have hardware from OLPC you can use the [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_notes/11.3.0 11.3.0 builds] for the i686 architecture (XO 1 and XO 1.5) and for the new ARM hardware (XO 1.75). Those builds include Sugar 0.94. Hardware specific bugs especially with the new 1.75 hardware please report at the [http://dev.laptop.org/ OLPC bug tracker]. The current development version is as well available in [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/16 Fedora 16] and [[Development_Team/Jhbuild |sugar-jhbuild]] (sugar* master branches).
