OLPC weekly update 24/08
Thursday, August 23rd, 2012- 12.1.0 build 20 release and testing.
- Fixed the XO-1.5 graphics hang with help from Jon Nettleton.
- Fixed a hang on suspend when wireless networking is disabled.
- First pass at probing the XO-1.75/XO-4 camera from the device tree.
- Documented the challenges posed to upgrade paths by our migration to devicetree.
- More F18 preparation for the first 13.1.0 development builds expected very soon.
For 12.1.0, we hoped build 20 would be final, but we found 3 nasty regressions:
- XO-1.5 hangs on suspend when networking is disabled.
- Browse crashes after logging into the school server for the first time.
- Browse is is a bit crashy on XO-1.75 when visiting some pages with javascript.
All are fixed and will be shipped in build 21 early next week.
