Hi, We're pleased to announce the next release candidate of our new 12.1.0 software release.
Information and installation instructions can be found here: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_notes/12.1.0 Quick links for those who know which files need to be grabbed and save to USB disks: http://download.laptop.org/xo-1.75/os/candidate/12.1.0-15/ http://download.laptop.org/xo-1.5/os/candidate/12.1.0-15/ http://download.laptop.org/xo-1/os/candidate/12.1.0-15/ This is a signed release candidate that can be installed on all XOs, even those with security enabled. We're looking for testing and feedback on all aspects of the system. Thanks for any help you can offer, and for all the feedback that was received throughout development. Our scheduled release date is July 9th. Please review the "Known problems" section of the release notes. Some documented issues are carried over from previous releases, but others are new and are things that we will aim to fix in the few weeks before release. Compared to 12.1.0 release candidate 1 (build 14), we have fixed and changed: .usb update files are now provided for olpc-update offline upgrade. Please note the need to rename them when upgrading from pre-2012 releases, as detaled in the release notes.
