Some confusion probably caused by not reading the proposals for this release. I was not aware there was a search box in the Home View. What is its
function?

Currently, the XO palette is open when the Home View appears. This is presumably a bug and not a feature which will be fixed by putting the focus on the search box. I hope this new search box has a sufficiently useful function for all XOs to justify this grab for attention.

The problem with the palette is that it is modal and no action can be taken on the keyboard (e.g. switch to Journal or Neighborhood View or look at Frame) until the cursor is moved. This, of course, requires one more step in 'onboarding' to make users aware of the disabling nature of modal dialogs.

Hello everyone,

I am pleased to announce the release of Sugar 0.107.2 (unstable). This release means that we have reached the API, UI and Strings freeze deadline [1] and that we should focus on making sure there are no missing translations or exceptional bugs left.

This release comes with the following improvements:

  * Collaboration works on newer systems (e.g. Fedora 23) with
    activities that do not use Tubes (e.g. Chat).
  * The search box in home view grabs focus automatically.
  * More little steps on documenting our toolkit.

The tarballs can be downloaded from:
