XS-0.4 Released -

[Martin Langhoff]

It is a pleasure to announce that XS-0.4 is out. The release notes,
containing important notes about installation an upgrades are here
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Release_Notes#XS-0.4 .

Download the ISO http://xs-dev.laptop.org/xs/OLPC_XS_0_4.iso or update via yum.

This release interoperates with the XO 8.1 and upcoming 8.2 releases
and contains several goodies

 - Better isolation of ds-backup usage, via rssh
 - rsync-based upgrade server for the XOs
 - Cleanup of how /etc is managed
   (now upgrades do not break your XS, rejoice!)
 - Installs on smaller disks - useful for Qemu-based testing

Here is a listing of what has made it into the release
