Signed builds for update.1 rc2 (build 691) are now available at:
http://download.laptop.org/xo-1/os/candidate/691/jffs2/
You can also 'olpc-update candidate-691', which will get the signed build.
Release notes at:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Test_Group_Release_Notes#Build_691_Q2D13_.28RC2.29
These changes seem appropriate for the 'faster' build (see next
message on devel@).

Pilot programs with B2s and earlier should apply to have them upgraded
to B4s or C2s (G1G1 machines) in order that you can continue to use

the fact that the XO did "seven new things" when most hardware
projects try to limit themselves to only one "new thing" per product.
I will outline the "new th
