The http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/Release/Releases/Sucrose/0.84/... suggests that 4.0.2206 is an official release for end users. Do I understand that page correctly?
Well, these are obviously developer pages. Sugar 1.0 will be the actual release for end users.
My misunderstanding then (I guess this explains why "Utilities updateFromServer" on my end-user 3.0 image downloads nothing.)
For one, Etoys is deployed as part of Sugar but developed independently, so the Sugar version isn't really indicative of the maturity of the included Etoys release.
Secondly, the update stream is now only used for development, not for updating user installations. Etoys is now installed as a regular application, users do not have to deal with Squeak images, updates etc. In fact, in any regular installation the image is read-only so couldn't even be modified from inside Etoys.
I will be glad to have the bug fixed code in my hands early, (even though I have not exercised the bugs yet.) Thanks again.
A follow up question as my search skills failed me again: have release criteria for Sugar 1.0 been posted yet ? (What I have read so far is a roadmap from 0.84 in April to 0.86 in the fall : http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Development_Team/Release/Roadmap/0.86 . I wondered if 0.86 will be a 1.0 release candidate, or if more new features are planned for 1.0?)
That's a question better directed at the Sugar developers:
