Hi All, I'd like to like to announce the release of Sugar on a Stick version 6 (codename Pineapple).
Available for both i686 and x86_64 platforms this release brings the newly released Sugar 0.94.1 to a base of Fedora 16. It includes a lot of new and updated Activities as well as improved support for booting on Apple intel based devices. The latest release of Sugar includes improved functionality in the Joural including options to Duplicate entries and enhanced copy and exchange functionality. There is also improvements in the viewing and duplication of source code and in search. Full details can be found in the release notes [1] including changes that affect developers. The latest features of Fedora 16 (Verne) can be discovered in their release notes [2]. New Activities in this release include Ruler, Maze, Moon, Clock, Image Viewer, Jukebox, Typing Turtle and Visual Match Improved and updated Activities include the usual candidates Write, Chat, Caclulate, Memorize, Physics, Pippy, Record, Surf, TurtleArt, Abacus, IRC and Speak. More details about the SoaS project and how to get involved can be found on the Sugar on a Stick home page [3]. You can download the latest Sugar on a Stick at it's spin page below as usual. A few new options for getting SoaS are going to be available with this release. For the first time SoaS is going to be shipped on the Fedora Multi Spin DVD which means we'll be shipping on the front a number of computer magazines across Europe and likely elsewhere in the coming months. I am also working with On-Disk [4] to get SoaSv6 on their site very soon so that its available in a variety of live media formats to make it easier for interested pilots and end users, more details will be available about that soon.
