This is a software release.

Summary

Title
8.2.1 OS, Release_notes/8.2.1
Description
The OS upgrade is to address critical bug fixes from release 8.2.0, mostly found in Uruguay; to include fedora icon; to include touchpad support in OFW (if it is ready).
Date proposed
2008-12-15
Priority
High. Uruguay wants to deploy in the beginning of January.
Champion
Kim/Reuben
Root Cause
A regression occurred that broke wireless activation. This feature doesn't have a test case and since we waited so long before we had a signed build to test, we did not find this regression. Other bug fixes in this release are to help Uruguay with their roll-out including their ability to manage their own final build (try to keep OLPC out of the sign-off).
Effect from the user perspective
Uruguay had a process that allowed all the laptops to get their activation keys wirelessly from the local school server on a regular basis. Release 8.2.0 broke that process.
Proposed Fix
Address bugs and small features listed below
