• Fixed olpc-switch-desktop for GTK3 port.
• Completed the migration to booting from zip files by default for 13.1.0.
• Found an olpc-os-builder workaround for an annoying loop device bug.
• Various bits of support on tickets on the build/release front and some work in progress on gst-browser-plugin, journal iconification bug, USB automount issue, iwmmxt, XO-1 geode rendering bug.

• Fixed failure to show shutdown splash.
• Adopted full-coverage DejaVu fonts.
• Fixed failure to apply keyboard layout.
• Enabled override of default keyboard/language settings.
• Fixed Sugar’s language settings being lost on upgrades.
• Fixed support for some webcams on XO-1 by backporting some Linux-3.6 USB work.
• Released 13.1.0 build 2.

• Finally released 12.1.0.
• Published first 13.1.0 development build.
• Diagnosed/fixed XO-4 camera problems in Linux.
• Fixed a spurious libertas wifi device reset.

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.

• Fixed occasional reboot hang detected by runin
• Fixed XO-1.75 wireless activation for 11.3.2
• Investigation into the last 12.1.0 blocker: XO-1.5 hang during system resume
• Some overdue work on olpc-update-query for better error reporting and activation lease handling.
• Preliminary glance at Fedora 18 on XO

I also spent some time in Toronto over the last few weeks. I helped the OLPC Canada project rescue some content that was developed in Adobe Air (i.e. no hope of ever running on the ARM-based XO-1.75), and enabled keyboard input in the local dialects of Cayuga and Inuktitut. I also spent time with the Ntugi group to help them update their software to the latest, prepare for XO-1.75s, fix a problem with external microscopes on XO-1, and investigate a way forward for dealing with Vernier sensors with the vendors own software offering not up to scratch.

This week, more 12.1.0 regression fixing; we’re close now.

• Fixed XO-1 wireless mesh activation.
• Fixed XO-1 SD card unusable after suspend/resume.
• Fixed inability to rebuild 12.1.0 on XO-1.75 hardware.
• Fixed Gabble collaboration not working with new telepathy.
