This short week:

• 12.1.0 build 21 release and testing.
• Preparation for first 13.1.0 development release, expected later today.
• Finished first iteration of devicetree-based probing for XO cameras.

• 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.

• Progress on XO-1.5 graphics hang during suspend/resume (the last 12.1.0 blocker) by implementing an idea originally suggested by Jon Nettleton.
• Fixed failure to build latest WebKit on ARM.
• Announced the next software development cycle, 13.1.0.
• Misc. fixing for the upgrade to Fedora 18.

• 12.1.0 build 19 release and testing – edging closer to final release.
• Participated in planning of the next OLPC release cycle, targetting the upcoming XO-4 laptop
• Updated PolicyKit-olpc for Fedora 18 and continued work to get F18 running well on the XO.

This week, more edging towards the 12.1.0 release:

• Fixed failure to cleanup MMC I/O when going into suspend.
• Fixed some libertas crashes when resetting the wireless device due to communications failure.
• Fixed a libertas memory leak.
