Just downloaded v28 from ASLO. Fantastic, great effort! The toolbar and mouse cursor changes are so much more friendly, and it is great to have the new ink well style stroke/fill colour chooser in there.

FWIW I've tested on XO-1s running 0.84.16 and 0.88.1 and Paint-28 runs great, however running on the original XO-1 0.82.1 (OLPC build 767) it fails to start with some obscure Rainbow related exception that leads to a "MalformedBundleException: No activity.info file" which is a spurious error message as looking in the bundle the activity.info file is installed and looks just fine. I was vaguely expecting a fail in 0.82.1 as the colour chooser widget was not available back then, but not expecting a Rainbow related fail.

FWIW2: If you can confirm Paint-28 is broken in the official 0.82.1 (OLPC build 767). We should edit the ASLO entry. Currently it's listed as working on the Sugar Platform 0.82-0.88, we should change that to 0.84-0.88 so we don't give old 0.82 Sugar users a broken update. Let me know, I can make this change for you easily, the ASLO developer menus can be a little deep trying to find the various parameters ;-)

Regards,
--Gary

I already have plans to help tidy up the old Paint toolbar from the design/UI side, and then add in support for the new Sugar toolbar design.
