-Two ways to slice this: <br>
-- Better than the last release (8.2.0 v 708, 703, and 656) <br>
-- Works as expected <br>
+Build number: [[Build number::767]]
-For case 1, where it says "the same", read "same or better" or "same or more" as appropriate
+Download URL: [[Download URL::http://download.laptop.org/xo-1/os/official/767]] , also [[Download URL::http://download.laptop.org/xo-1/custom/g1g1/gg-767-4/]] with [[G1G1 2008]] activities pre-installed.
-For case 2 where it says "the same", read "as documented" or "as expected".

-Stability Requirement for 8.2.0

-- Start activities at the same speed (including but not limited to all fructose activities)<br>
-- Boot to home at the same speed.<br>
-- Cursor control the same, including number of XOs where it moves without input or moves without correlation to finger on touchpad <br>
-- Connect to the same APs in the same time and with the same user feedback. (e.g. blinks then shows white circle). <br>
-- Connect to active antennas in the same time and with the same user feedback (e.g. blinks then shows white circle). <br>
-- Run all the same activities (can require activity upgrade within documented bounds). Includes allowing activities to mesh the same way. <br>
-- Connect to mesh with the same number of XOs in the same time with the same failure rate. <br>
-- Save and open files for all activities. Fructose activities at a minimum otherwise all activities per 5 above. Including when journal has
-thousands of entries. <br>
-- Use the same NAND space. <br>
-- Always boots up, especially when there is no space on NAND <br>
-- Open and close all activities per 5 above. <br>
-- Must support all languages and keyboards previously supported. "support" means all previously translated strings still work in activities and sugar. All language types work the same (e.g. RTL)<br>
-- No new cases where the XO crashes and needs hard reboot. <br>
-- No new cases where the cursor stops responding (AKA hangs) for more than 30 seconds. <br>
-- Sound and video recording and playback must record at the same rate. Must playback all the same kinds of files. Must playback with the same quality (assuming all other variables constant, e.g. network, RAN=M, disk space, etc.) <br>
-- Browse must render the same web sites as before. See also http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/7421 <br>

-- Must have the same security mechanisms and be as secure as previous releases. <br>
-- Must be installable in the factory and upgradeable from 656, 703 and 708 via USB or network. <br>
-= Development stream =
-We have a pilgrim stream named "8.2" which is where release candidates will be developed.

-* [http://dev.laptop.org/~bert/8.2-pkgs.html ChangeLog]
-* [http://dev.laptop.org/~bert/8.2-joyride.html Differences vs joyride]
-Builds are manually triggered by Dennis Gilmore.
-If developers wish to get packages/updates included in the stream, they must first be committed to joyride. After successful testing in joyride, file an inclusion request on the corresponding trac ticket. Approval will come from release engineering before the package is included in the stream.
