11.2.0 release candidate 5 (build 874) released

[Daniel Drake]

Hi,

We're pleased to announce a further release candidate of our new
11.2.0 software release.

Information and installation instructions can be found here:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_notes/11.2.0

Quick links for those who know which files need to be grabbed and save
to USB disks:
http://download.laptop.org/xo-1/os/candidate/874/
http://download.laptop.org/xo-1.5/os/candidate/874/

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 has
been received already.

The release is imminent! Any last minute feedback much appreciated,
even if you can just confirm that it seems to work as well as other
recent builds :)

Since build 873 we have fixed:

Since release candidate 3 (build 872) we have fixed an issue where the
Record stop button was pushed off the edge of the toolbar in Spanish,
the friends tray for collaborators now correctly shows the members of
the shared activity, and we fixed a system-level issue that was
causing loss of reliability in collaboration.

Closed tickets:
#10817 	friendstray does represent buddies of a shared activity we
have not joined yet
#11060 	hostname set too late; upsets avahi
#11076 	Record toolbar does not fit in a XO screen for Spanish

Thanks,
Daniel

Looking at the version numbers of some packages in build 874 --

The XO-1 has kernel-2.6.35.13_xo1-20110619.0933.olpc.218154b.i586,
The XO-1,5 has kernel-2.6.35.13_xo1.5-20110707.0809.olpc.da7074b.i586

Build 874 has olpc-utils-1.2.12-1.fc14.i686, which has not yet
appeared in the principal RPM repositories for F14.

Build 874 still has xkeyboard-config-1.9-9.fc14.olpc.noarch

My Settings -> About my Computer -> Sugar: says 0.92.2,
whereas 'rpm -q sugar' says  sugar-0.92.3.4.g50b9373-1.fc14.olpc.noarch

Nothing to worry here: I just did not update the Sucrose number in the 
sugar package (done now). What matters is the 0.92 I think, the dotted 
version is mostly for us devs.

Regards,

This was intended - we made changes that would only affect XO-1.5, so
there was no need to put in new XO-1 RPMs.

Yep, this is brand new, and Fedora enforces that new packages spend 1
week in updates-testing (where it can currently be found).

As planned - we froze our package selection over a month ago.

Thanks for your attention to detail!
