Hi,

I'm pleased to announce another development release in the dextrose-3
series. This is our third alpha and builds upon sugar-0.94.1 and a new
dextrose patchset.

The targeted release date for the final stable release is 19th December.
Please see the dextrose-3 roadmap[1] for more details.

== Key points ==

* Based on sugar 0.94.1
* Incremental fixes included in the sugar-dx3-patchset [2]
* Includes initial release of sugar-client in place of
ds-backup-client and dextrose-updater and adds more functionality[3].

== Bug Fixes (Refer to sugar 0.94.1 release notes for upstream fixes) ==

* sl#2822 au#383 Only pre-select already installed activities
* sl#3217 Add en_AU in My Settings - Language
