[Sugar-devel] [ANNOUNCE] Sucrose 0.84.0 Final Release

[Simon Schampijer]

Dear Sugar Community,

this is the Final Release in our 0.84 development cycle [1]! Thanks to 
our testers the developers were able to bring in bug fixes to stabilize 
the platform. And the translators were busy to get all the strings 
translated. All the details what have changed from a user point of view 
will be handled in the detailed 0.84 release notes.

Thanks everyone for your great contributions!

In behalf of the sugar community,
    Your Release Team
