Re: status of 8.1.1 and now 8.1.2 ?
8.1.2 may be used for the next G1G1 factory image but that's not final yet either. #6532 is a blocking bug against the next G1G1 release which is not fixed in 709. It is considered by G1G1 donors who have commented in that ticket to be NOT SUITABLE for mass distribution to G1G1.

Re: status of 8.1.1 and now 8.1.2 ?
Hi S, Thanks for the comments and for checking these pages! Let me try to clarify. As it stands today: *** 8.1.1 = ECO-5 = 708 8.1.1 is almost ready but it needs another review of the release notes (http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_Notes/8.1.1) and confirmation of the exact image name for use in upgrade. We especially need to document properly the upgrade from 656 including how you get back your activities when updating via olpc-update and via USB. It can be used for G1G1 users if they read the release notes carefully to understand upgrade choices affects on activities and the SD card issue. In short, 8.1.1 needs one more sign off which I hope to close on early next week. * 8.1.2 = ECO-6 = 709 8.1.2 may be used for the next G1G1 factory image but that's not final yet either. The primary purpose is an updated image for Peru. This one is getting a little closer and does need to be closed ASAP for Peru. That's where things stand today. Does the Wiki adequately communicate that? Let me know if you have any suggestions on getting that explained better. *** This link is owned by Seth: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Documentation_Projects#8.1.2 Hopefully he can update it based on this thread. Both need to come together quickly, target next week. Neither is completely final as of this writing. I'll definitely keep you and this list in the loop. Let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thanks, Greg S ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
status of 8.1.1 and now 8.1.2 ?
== 8.1.1 == Is 8.1.1 done? It was due June 7. According to http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_SW-ECO_5_Checklist , the only thing left is for The champion to sign off; according to http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/7014 , the only thing left is finalize. If/when 8.1.1 is done, should all G1G1 users update to it, or are these dot-dot releases optional ECOs only intended for particular roll-outs? == 8.1.2 == There's a SW-ECO_6 for release 8.1.2 (due yesterday ;-) ). It implies the build for 8.1.2 is build 709, which Build Announcer v2 announced recently. If someone makes a candidate out of this I'll gladly test it, its fixes sounds worthwhile. (My developer key will be ready in 8 hours, 51 minutes :-) ) On the subject of more clarity, * http://wiki.laptop.org/go/8.1.2 says No 8.1.2 release is currently planned with any certaintity * http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Releases and http://dev.laptop.org/roadmap don't mention 8.1.2 * http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Documentation_Projects#8.1.2 says The current build is 8.1.1 (probably 708 still being tested). The next release in the current stream is 8.1.2 (711). I think 711 is a typo. I'll gladly update the wiki with whatever you say, and I've got some ideas to reduce the overhead and overlap.
