 These are very helpful comments. If you or someone else could find the

Please see:

#1130: Jigsaw puzzle activity starts at an odd location

#1131: Issues with two labels in Write-63
http://trac.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1131

#1132: Activity hover-popup missing/hidden
http://trac.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1132

Hope the bug reports contain all the required information.

As for the other two points I had mentioned (control panel showing 0.85.1
when I expected 0.85.3 and the confusion over the label of the new share
with icons) I'm not sure whether these merrit extra tickets or not?

Cheers,
Christoph

I think so, I cannot give these attention right now, but hope to do so
very soon.

 Hi everybody,

 I'm very happy to announce the availability of a new SoaS snapshot,

 http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/appliances/soas3-20090802.zip

 Please report all other issues you encounter (and note the
 build date when opening a ticket please)!


 We got this SOAS report from Chile in our América Latina forums:

 http://forums.squeakland.org/viewtopic.php?t=4450

 ... which would have been solved if the latest release of etoys (from
 a month ago) had been included:

 http://download.sugarlabs.org/sources/sucrose/glucose/etoys/


Can we remove PulseAudio in SoaS? It's not needed in Sugar because  
activities manage access to system resource anyway, and it breaks  
sound in Etoys because pulseaudio emulates ALSA but not fully.

I'm still having problems with the openchrome driver (missing mouse
pointer and wrong resolution) as in

http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/730

I've noticed that the snapshot uses version 0.2.903-10; installing
version 0.2.903-12 from the testing repository seems to work

 Known bugs include a killed X server each time an activity saves to the
 journal. Please report all other issues you encounter (and note the

 One issue I ran into - though like with the other ones I'm not sure whether
 this is SoaS specific or not - is that the Jigsaw puzzle activity starts at
 a very odd location (similar to the name your entry overlay), see the
 attached screenshot for what it looks like.
 Another thing that confused me is that in the control panel under about my
 computer it says Sugar: 0.85.1 when I had expected to see 0.85.3 there (per
 Sebastian's message above).
 Two small issues I found in the write-63 activity bundled with this release
 are that Style (on the Format tab) and Page (on the View tab) labels
 contain a trailing _ that's probably not supposed to be there.
 Another issue I found is that when you're in an activity and hovering over
 either the view icons or activity icons the popup menu (telling you which
 view you're looking at or containing the resume, stop or view code
 functions) doesn't seem to show up or potentially does show up but is
 layered behind the running activity.
 One interesting observation was that not all activities seemed to trigger
 that killing X server behaviour mentioned by Sebastian, the Paint activity
 for example seems to do just fine with keeping in and resuming from the
 Journal.
 One last general comment: I'm slightly confused by the design of the share
 with button as there don't seem to be any associated texts when hovering
 over the icon for neighborhood. Also once shared the icon's hover menu
 only says My neighborhood which I find a bit simplistic.
 Hope those comments are somehow helpful.
 Cheers,
 Christoph

Where is the image for XO laptops? I flashed the 17 Jun release [1], but 
there are obvious major bugs (no sound, no automounting of USB keys, 
default font is too small) that prevent us from upgrading the rest of 
our machines.

Until OLPC issues its next official release, we are recommending that 
XO-1 users who would like to try 0.84 use Sugar on a Stick. Please 
don't leave XO laptops out in the cold. We are relying on SugarLabs to 
get the latest and greatest software. For example, the Read Etext 
activity has a much sought ability to speak the text, but only with 
sugar 0.84.
