Hi Tom,

the announcements do tell people that the sources are available. Then it 
has to be packaged by distributions (Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu etc...). 
 From there Spins like Soas or the XO picks them up [1].

I am doing XO builds containing the latest Sugar (0.90) for the XO [2].

So given from your information, that should be a good way for you to 
test 0.90.

I will do a new build by the end of the week. Watch out for the 
announcement.

Thanks,
    Simon
