Most notably in this release, the laptop's battery is now properly detected and shows the correct information which is great. Many thanks go to the people who got this to work! Also, I can get Direct rendering working with minimal configuaration, IE the fglrx driver in the repositories is now working.
There was a regression for the installation: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/xresprobe/+bug/32487 , and a regression for the sleep key, https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/32541 Also, hibernate is now worse than before, https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/29499

Hello,
Flight 4 has been released, and contains various chunks of
laptop-related updates. If you could test this release well, that would
be great - we'll then have a good idea as to what needs working on in
the last few weeks before release.
Things to concentrate on this time around:
1) Hotkeys. Do they work?
2) Suspend - we're using gnome-power-manager now. Does hitting the sleep
key suspend? Does changing settings in gnome-power-manager let you
change what the sleep key does? Does the machine wake up again?
3) Hibernate - if you've been tracking dapper, your hibernate
configuration may have been lost. Please check
/etc/mkinitramfs/initramfs.conf for a line with RESUME in. If it looks
like
#RESUME=
then change it to
RESUME=/dev/foo
replacing foo with your swap partition, then do sudo update-initramfs
-u. Hibernate should then work - please file a bug if it doesn't.
Known issues:
1) Synaptics pads may move very slowly
2) USB may not survive suspend/resume. If it doesn't, please try
upgrading to the latest acpi-support package.
