We will have a new Squeakland release based on 4.0 this summer. Betas
should start to be available soon on the Squeakland site.
Note that despite of the major version change, from a user's point of
view 4.0 will not be much different from 3.0. The new version number
signifies a change in license (now fully under a Free Software
license, namely MIT+Apache) and a change in leadership (the Squeakland
Foundation is taking over from Viewpoints Research). Of course there
will be bug fixes and maybe some new niceties but no major new features.

Well, these are obviously developer pages. Sugar 1.0 will be the
actual release for end users. We consider the Etoys version in Sugar
stable and usable, but it's not yet "official". Preliminary releases
are at
http://download.sugarlabs.org/sources/sucrose/glucose/etoys/
End users on Linux should use the version included in their Linux
distribution if it is available, otherwise the download at
squeakland.org is what we recommend everyone to use.

Yes.
