Hello everyone, I just released version 70 of the Read activity - the first release in the 0.86 release cycle. Among the changes in this release, probably the most important change is the addition of support for Epub files. It is likely to contain a significant number of bugs, please report them on http://dev.sugarlabs.org under the component Read. The activity has been tested to work on Fedora 11 based systems such as SOAS-Strawberry, and it will work in a Sucrose 0.84 environment (and I plan to make sure that it keeps working on Sugar 0.84). However, if you are using SOAS, you will need to install WebkitGTK, python-lxml and python-BeautifulSoup. The following command would do the trick:
yum install webkitgtk python-lxml python-BeautifulSoup For getting epubs, I would recommend http://www.feedbooks.com and http://www.epubbooks.com/ I am not releasing the XO bundle via activities.sugarlabs.org, since this release would probably have a lot of bugs, and I do not want to expose non-tester users to those bugs right now.
