Sugar on a Stick v2 Blueberry contains a number of new features that improve the overall user and learning experience. Here is an overview of the most notable ones:
Sugar 0.86
Sugar on a Stick v2 Blueberry ships the latest Sugar release, 0.86.3. It features:
- a redesigned toolbar;
- support for tabbed browsing (Browse);
- epub file support for ebooks (Read);
- and an easy way to update to the latest activities (Control Panel).
ZYX-Liveinstaller
A frequent request we received concerned a means of installing Sugar to a hard disk. We teamed up with the zyx-liveinstaller developer in order to provide:
- a seamless way of installing your personalized environment onto your computer's hard disk
- that saves any changes that you made to your Sugar on a Stick system
- without even requiring a reboot!
E-Books
Sugar on a Stick v2 Blueberry features a number of well-selected e-books in the increasingly popular .epub file format. Historical classicals and interesting literature for young readers have found their way onto this release. Thousands of additional e-books can even be easily accessed through the included Get Internet Archive Books Activity.
Activities
Sugar on a Stick v2 Blueberry also includes many new Sugar Activities as well as updates to old favorites like Physics and TurtleArt. Activities shipping for the first time on Sugar on a Stick v2 Blueberry include SocialCalc, a spreadsheet activity that allows users to do complex mathematical calculations, and TamTam activity suite, which takes the learner on a journey through sound and music, beginning with a simple musical toy and progressing up to a sophisticated sound synthesizer.
Based On Fedora
Sugar on a Stick v2 Blueberry is based on the latest version of the Fedora operating system.
