<div dir="ltr"> <div>Hi all, I'm proud to announce the fifth version (0.5) of Sugarizer, a taste of Sugar for any device. <a href="http://sugarizer.org">http://sugarizer.org</a> I've decided to put the focus on this version on three majors points: <ul type="disc" style="margin-left:0.375in;direction:ltr;margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:0in"> <li style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;vertical-align:middle" lang="en-US">Responsive Design: to ensure that Sugarizer could work on any screen size, from the smallest smartphone screen (320x480) to the bigger tablet screen (2560x1600).</li> <li style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;vertical-align:middle" lang="en-US">Android support: I've done a huge work to ensure that Sugarizer and activities work well on Android so I've fixed lot of issues related to Android limitation. Of course due to diversity of the Android ecosystem, some issues could still exist on Android versions lower than 4.2. </li> <li style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;vertical-align:middle" lang="en-US">Firefox OS support: Thanks to Mozilla foundation that help me on that, Firefox and Firefox OS are now #1 platforms for Sugarizer. Sugarizer has been tested successfully on Firefox browser and on several Firefox OS devices (Keon, Peak, Flame).</li> </ul> Finally, because it's very important for us that Sugar/Sugarizer could be accessible to every users, I've packaged and published Sugarizer on three major app stores: <ul type="disc" style="margin-left:0.375in;direction:ltr;margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:0in"> <li style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;vertical-align:middle">Google Play: <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.olpc_france.sugarizer">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.olpc_france.sugarizer</a></li> <li style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;vertical-align:middle">Amazon Store: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NKK7PZA">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NKK7PZA</a> </li> <li style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;vertical-align:middle">Firefox Market Place: <a href="https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/sugarizer/">https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/sugarizer/</a> (soon)</li> </ul> Of course, you could also install it by yourself using instructions on the Sugarizer website if you don't like stores.
