-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
It gives me pleasure to announce the release of our first dextrose-3 development image, alpha-1. I thank ActivityCentral, OLPC, OLPC-Australia and Sugarlabs for working in close coordination and making this release possible. The key points of this release are: * Based on fedora-14 * Based on sugar version 0.92.4 * Porting of most dextrose-2 patches into dextrose-3. * Upstreaming of a few dextrose-2 patches. We're trying to upstream as much as we can, but its a slow process. * Uses the 0.9x collaboration code. * These images don't contain gnome. The next development release (alpha-2) will contain gnome. Broadly, Dextrose-3 is close to FeatureFreeze [1], and is following this roadmap [2]. Here are the download links for the install images: === xo-1 === http://download.sugarlabs.org/dextrose/testing/dx3/xo1/dx3ng036.img http://download.sugarlabs.org/dextrose/testing/dx3/xo1/dx3ng036.crc === xo1.5 === http://download.sugarlabs.org/dextrose/testing/dx3/xo1.5/dx3ng036.zd http://download.sugarlabs.org/dextrose/testing/dx3/xo1.5/dx3ng036.zd.md5 Note: * You will need an unlocked XO to test/install these images * This is a development alpha-release, there are and will be rough edges, particularly in the area of collaboration, and some dextrose-specific features. * Folks are encouraged to test this release and file tickets on bugs.sugarlabs.org and tag them by assigning the 'dx3' keyword. The dextrose team will triage them and start fixing. * Though dx-3-alpha-1 uses sugar 0.92.x, it is not yet certain future dextrose releases will do the same [3]. That is being worked out at the moment through discussion. ==Release Notes== This release is intended to be in sync with OLPC-11.2.0, the release notes for which can be found here [4]. There will be differences in activity lists and sugar itself, which would have dextrose specific patches (latest-patchset date 2011-08-15) ===Activities=== * Abacus-22 * Arithmetic-2 * Browse-123 * Calculate-37 * Chat-70 * Colors-15 * Distance-25 * Etoys-113 * Flipsticks-8 * Fototoon-8 * Get_books-9 * Image_viewer-17 * Implode-10 * Irc-10 * Jukebox-22 * Labyrinth-11 * Log-25 * Maze-11 * Measure-33 * Memorize-36 * Moon-12 * Paint-36 * Physics-8 * Pippy-40 * Poll-27 * Read-90 * Record-92 * Ruler-11 * Speak-30 * Spirolaterals-22 * Stopwatch-11 * Tamtammini-59 * Terminal-34 * Turtle_art-114 * Turtle_machine-22 * Typing_turtle-27 * Visual_match-29 * Words-11 * Write-75 ===Issues fixed=== * sl#2803 [dx3] Build dx3ng010 for xo-1 tries to install q3a62 firmware (which is actually meant for xo-1.5) * sl#2483 Neighborhood view is sometimes greyed out or owner buddy is missing * sl#2805 Opening neighborhood view just reveals a gray screen * sl#2806 [dx3] Missing central-xo icon in neighborhood view * sl#2878 python-beautiful soup dependency lacking on dextrose (was:Read-89 does not start on Sugar 0.88) * sl#2889 Speak Detection of australian-english * au#825 Software Update fails to upgrade content bundles ...and... * sl#2807 [dx3] dx3ng010-xo1.5: boot animation has too many hydrogen atoms ;) ;) Note: This list won't be very exhaustive since it is the first release in the dx3 series. ===Known Issues=== * Accessibility won't work very well since its supporting packages weren't included in this build. This will be fixed in alpha-2. * Collaboration is somewhat broken (See 11.2.0 release notes for a more detailed explanation). * Backup restore functionality doesn't work as the required packages aren't included yet.
