The current heartbeat of our XSCE-0.4 testing can be viewed at
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Community_Edition/0.4/Testing/Results.  Note
that we have spent the bulk of our testing efforts on XO hardware (XO-1.5,
XO-1.75 and XO-4).  Hopefully, with additional help from the wider
community, testing will progress rapidly in coming weeks around (x86,
Trim-Slice and Raspberry Pi).

We would appreciate your help identifying remaining bugs prior to official
release, expected
mid-September<http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Community_Edition/0.4/Road_Map>
.
