== Bundle ==

== Source ==

== News ==

- Updated to latest available translations
- Improved speaking clock reliability by using gstreamer espeak plugin, with a fallback mode for the espeak command on older Sugar builds (SL#3453)
- Refactored 'nice clock' image to improve performance
- Fixed bug where clock could draw partly off the screen (SL#3394)

== Note ==

Testing in 12.1.0 build 8 there appears to be something amiss with activity translations. Clock-8 is not finding it's translations an so defaults to the spoken text "What Time Is It", the previous version Clock-7 also had the same issue. Installing Clock-8 on 11.3.1 or on a very old build 802 accesses the translations correctly.

P.S. Unrelated to the above issue, gettext is missing from build 8, this will prevent activity developers using XO's to work with localised bundles (./setup.py build shows a spurious, unhelpful error message) unless they manually sudo yum install -y gettext (pulls in about ~5Mb).
