[SoaS] Testing Sugar Activities of Fedora-Live-SoaS-i686-21-TC3

[Jean THIERY]

To whom it may concern,

Hello,

Today I run tests on the new version of SoaS live :
Fedora-Live-SoaS-i686-21-TC3.iso (2014-11-22).
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/21_TC3/Live/i386/

Thank you for many improvements compared to
Fedora-Live-SoaS-i686-21_Beta-4.iso (2014-11).
https://fedoraproject.org/get-spin-prerelease

- Help-18 (replacing) Help-17.2 seems to work normally
- Physics-23 (replacing Physics-22) works OK
- Pippy-62 (replacing Pippy-61) works much better
   (but I found new problems : see a future message).

Walter : THANK YOU for changes in Physics and Pippy

======= Detailed comments =====================================

Tests were performed on a USB key prepared with
« Fedora-Live-SoaS-i686-21-TC3.iso » (Nov-2014)
https://fedoraproject.org/get-spin-prerelease

Tests were performed after setting the language into French
(like previous tests on Beta-4).
The corresponding English versions could behave differently !

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


================================================================
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.
