Dear all, We are delighted to announce the release of the version #5 of SocialCalc activity on Sugar. We have introduced a number of features in SocialCalc on Sugar since the last community release -
1. *Localization* in Spanish, Afrikaans, Hindi, Japanese, Arabic, Russian, Chinese (simplified), French, German and Portuguese. 2. *Ability* to *read* and *edit *single sheet Excel .xls files. 3. *Sharing* of activity over the mesh network. 4. *Ability* to *read* and* edit* single sheet Lotus notes. 5. *Optimization* of the* save files*. The sheet extents will include just the part that has data. This feature also "canonicalizes" the saved data in other ways, such as removing no longer used formats and color definitions from the save file. 6. *Localization* made *easy*, especially of text in the user interface. All of the text that is normally seen during operation is now easily localizable by changing a single file, socialcalcconstants.js.
