<br>
It would also be very helpful to have a release 12.2.0 for the XO-1. This release would incorporate<br>
the libertas patch and correct the firmware version. Perhaps the ds-backup.sh and ds-backup.py could<br>
be replaced with versions that correct the reported problems. If politically acceptable, this could also be shown on the release page as the recommended alternative for use with the XO-1.<br>
