This release is for testing a number of security enhancements for XO-1.0 
and many other changes that have been added to the source tree during 
the development of XO-1.5. Since it has been a long time since the last 
XO-1.0 firmware release, it would not be surprising to find problems 
with this release, so the best guess is that another XO-1.0 release will 
be needed before widespread deployment.
