XS Community Edition/6.2

This IIAB XSCE content does not reflect the opinion of OLPC. These pages were created by members of a volunteer community supporting OLPC and deployments.

XSCE/IIAB 6.2 will most likely arrive in April 2017.

We began working around a regular 6-month release cycle starting with XSCE 6.0 (released March 27, 2016) leading up to XSCE 6.1 (released September 22, 2016).

Documentation, almost completely overhauled as of February 22, 2017: https://github.com/xsce/xsce/wiki

Likely focuses for XSCE/IIAB 6.2: (code is here)

• Strong Raspberry Pi 3 support, including the Raspian Pixel OS's (see security updates from late Nov 2016, and Jan 11 2017)
• Strong support for teachers/librarians who want ad hoc USB stick/drive materials to appear instantly at http://box/usb
• Captive Portal implementation, so most users don't need to type in any URL at all (e.g. http://box.lan, http://school.lan, http://schoolserver.lan). LIKELY DEFERRED TO IIAB 6.3!
