The automated ASLO email doesn't provide a link to the source tar, here's a copy of the [Release] email I send to the sugar-dev list in case you didn't catch it yet:

8< ----  8< ----  8< ----  8< ----  8< ----  8< ----  8< ----  8< ----  8< ----  8< ----  8< ----  8< ----

> 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.
