Hi everybody, I'm very happy to announce the availability of a new SoaS snapshot, today now especially with the latest Sugar release 0.85.3, freshly off the press (thanks to all the devs & packagers here)!
This release includes a number of new features, awaiting to be tested! * SoaS switches to a new distribution method for Fructose activities, meaning that now *all* activities can be directly updated from activities.sugarlabs.org without issues. * Official appliance creation has been resumed (we ship a zipped .vmdk file which should be readable by all major virtualization products). The appliance includes now all activities, all locales, and even sample content - just like the original SoaS! * This release introduces a new display manager, to be more specific olpc-dm, which should auto-login the user, even after restarting Sugar from the control panel. No blue login screen anymore! * SoaS ships now with capabilities of using sudo - by default! * The SoaS build date will from now on be clearly printed in the control panel (in the "About my Computer" screen). That's it so far. Now here are the links: http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/snapshots/3/SoaS3-200908021950.iso http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/appliances/soas3-20090802.zip 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 build date when opening a ticket please)! Thanks and happy testing, --Sebastian for the SoaS Team _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
