> <br>> we are very pleased to announce build os860 as the final 10.1.3<br>> release build for XO-1 and XO-1.5 laptops!<br>> <br>> This is an update to software release 10.1.2 that fixes important bugs<br>> and includes some new improvements (listed at the bottom of this<br>
> mail). The release is based on Fedora 11 and contains the latest Sugar<br>> 0.84 and the GNOME desktop.<br>> <br>> The full release notes can be found at [1]. Instructions for<br>> installing the release on an XO can be found at [2].<br>
> <br>> Many thanks to everyone -- testers, translators, documenters,<br>> developers and others -- who contributed to this release!<br>> <br>> On behalf of the OLPCA-team,<br>> Simon<br>> <br>> [1] <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_notes/10.1.3">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_notes/10.1.3</a><br>

> We have significantly improved collaboration when XO-1.5 is used with<br>> no Access Points available ("under a tree"). The Neighborhood View now<br>> shows three default Ad-hoc networks (for channels 1, 6, and 11) in<br>
> user-friendly icons, and XOs will auto-connect without user<br>> intervention. This behavior is similar to the "mesh" behavior on XO-1.<br>> <br>> ===Sharing/Backup Journal entries using a mass storage device===<br>
> You may now share Journal entries with another learner using a [[USB<br>> drive]] or SD card. The user experience is: Martin wants to give a<br>> picture he has been drawing to Simon. He plugs in his USB drive and<br>
> copies the Journal entry on the drive. Simon plugs in Martin's drive<br>> in his laptop. The entry will be shown with Martin's XO color on the<br>> drive. Simon copies Martin's entry into his Journal.<br>
> <br>> You can use this feature to backup Journal entries to a USB drive or SD card.<br>> <br>> ===Connect your XO to external projectors and monitors===<br>> We have added support for USB2VGA adapters. You can now connect an XO<br>
> to a projector over a USB2VGA adapter and project what is on your XO<br>> screen onto a screen or for many people to see.<br>> <br>> ===Screen Rotation on XO-1.5===<br>> On XO-1.5 it is now possible to rotate the screen using the 'rotate'<br>
> button. This allows learners to use the XO in ebook mode.<br>> <br>> ===Protected Activities Support===<br>> In this build certain activities are protected from being deleted by<br>> accident. In the activity list in the home view the erase option is<br>
> disabled for those. Protected activities are: Browse, Terminal, Log,<br>> Write, ImageViewer and Record.<br>> <br>> ===Better interaction between GNOME and Sugar===<br>> Switching between Sugar and GNOME user interfaces is smoother. Changes<br>
> of settings in GNOME now do not affect Sugar, and vice-versa.<br>> <br>> The ~/Activities directory is now hidden from the user in GNOME, to<br>> prevent accidental deletions that could harm Sugar. The networking<br>
> settings are now synchronized so enabling/disabling networking is<br>> unified.<br>> <br>> Users can now change GNOME panels and fonts without risk of breaking<br>> GNOME -- invalid settings are reset on restart.<br>
> <br>> The dialog to set a GNOME keyring password when connecting to a secure<br>> wireless network has been disabled.<br>> <br>> ===Browse===<br>> A home button has been added into the Browse toolbar. The button<br>
> returns to the home page, where important links are.<br>> <br>> A busy cursor has been added for when a page is loading. This was<br>> present in 8.2.1 but missing from 10.1.2.<br>> <br>> Finally, previews for downloaded images have been added, so that the<br>
> Journal will show appropriate thumbnails of downloaded images.<br>> <br>> ===Paint===<br>> The Paint activity has been improved a lot:<br>> <br>> * The cursor has been enhanced and realigned,<br>> * Text tool has been improved<br>
> * New filters: invert colors and mirror effects<br>> * Tool size and shape are shown<br>> * Improvements to copy and paste<br>> <br>> ===Read===<br>> Scrolling has been improved. The up and down directional keypad to<br>
> the left of the XO display will now scroll, which is especially useful<br>> if the laptop is in ebook mode. Using the fn key with the up and down<br>> arrow keys will now scroll by page.<br>> <br>> ===Write===<br>
> You can now paste images into Write. Images can be copied from Browse,<br>> Paint or Write. You can now put images into tables and export to PDF.<br>> <br>> The style list has been reordered to place paragraph text styles<br>
> before heading styles.<br>> <br>> ===Wikipedia===<br>> Page loading has been sped up and several smaller fixes made.<br>> <br>> ===Scratch===<br>> A new camera plugin adds importing from camera on XO-1.<br>
> <br>> ===Activity Updates===<br>> We included the latest versions of Calculate, Colors, Distance, Etoys,<br>> Help, InfoSlicer, Jukebox, Labyrinth, Memorize, Physics, Pippy, Turtle<br>> Art and Typing Turtle.<br>
> <br>> ===System Lid Behavior===<br>> When the lid is closed on the XO, the laptop will suspend its<br>> operations and turn off the screen. Historically re-opening the lid<br>> has turned on the screen and woken up the laptop for normal use. In<br>
> order to avoid a problem where stacked XO units may accidentally turn<br>> each other back on, this wake-up behavior has been disabled. To wake<br>> up the laptop from suspend press the power button once.<br>> <br>
