Hi! This e-mail is to announce the first in a series of signed candidate builds leading up to the release of 8.2.1. We'd love your help testing them before release.
You can upgrade to this new build (candidate-800) using the instructions here: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Friends_in_testing#Preparation Some particular areas we'd like to see testing of: * Connecting to encrypted wireless access points. We believe there are regressions here that we're trying to understand. The test procedure is: - connect to a WEP/WPA AP - suspend/resume using the power button, see what happens - reboot, see what happens Some hypotheses we're trying to investigate are: - WEP always works - WPA works with some percentage chance of success You can read more about the wireless testing that's been done already: http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2009-February/023096.html http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2009-February/022993.html * We have a version of Browse that reads PDFs in the browser rather than Read, and that needs testing: http://dev.laptop.org/raw-attachment/ticket/9112/Browse-101.xo * To install other activities, you can use the "Software Update" section in the control panel, activated by hovering over the home view XO-man. * It would be great to have help writing the release notes at: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_notes/8.2.1 The input to the release notes is the state described by Michael Stone's excellent Trac report here: http://dev.laptop.org/report/38 You can find out how to send in feedback on this page: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Reporting_bugs Thanks! - Chris, on behalf of the 8.2.1 team. -- Chris Ball <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Testing mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/testing
