Currently http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/Joyride pulls in Activities/G1G1 , as does Activities/G1G1/8.2, and that list still references old versions -- Browse 98 not 100, Read 52 not 60, etc. -- even though the links say "Browse (latest)". > Full Release Notes: > http://sugarlabs.org/go/ReleaseTeam/Releases/Sucrose/0.83.1 Maybe you could address these questions in a ==Compatibility== section in the release notes.
