Lists of Activities
Featured on 8.2
These activities are the ones that Software update in the Sugar Control Panel offers to install and update; they are pre-installed in most laptops running release 8.2.0 received through the 2008 Give One, Get One program.
There are many other activities known to work on release 8.2.0.
The activity versions below are the latest believed to work with release 8.2.0 (or more precisely, the 8.2 build stream).
For laptops running Release 8.1.0, see the earlier G1G1 activity pack. If your XO is not running the latest release 8.2.0 also known as build 767 (here's how to check), then you should consider upgrading to it; the details are in the 8.2.0 release notes.
