[SoaS] SoaS v11 beta 4 : NEW tests on activities INCLUDED in the standard distribution

[Jean THIERY]

To whom it may concern:

Hello,

Below, yo will find complementary tests of SoaS v14 beta 4
with activities INCLUDED in the standard distribution.

Tests were performed on a USB key prepared with
« Fedora-Live-SoaS-i686-21_Beta-4.iso » (Nov-2014)
https://fedoraproject.org/get-spin-prerelease

All tests were performed after setting the language into French.
The corresponding English versions could behave differently !

Systematic tests were not performed,
only simple tests were launched.

THANK YOU very much for many improvements in SoaS 11.

Walter : THANK YOU for changes in Physics and Pippy
Physics-22 has been replaced by Physics-23 : OK
Pippy-61 has been replaced by Pippy-62 : OK

Soon on Internet,

Jean [Jean.Thiery(ò)ModLibre.info][http://ModLibre.info/]

General comments
================================================================

In the French version, there is no icon in the « My parameters » menu
for changing from the Sugar environment into the Gnome environment.

the Safety Wifi Code « Clé de chiffrement » is not stored.
It has to be retyped for each new Wifi connexion.

How can we install an earlier version of an activity
when the present version does not work ?
See below for different activities.
