What release am I running?
Follow How to check the OS and firmware versions to determine what build of the system software you have on your XO, then refer to this table: {{#ask: Build number::!999
| mainlabel=- | ?Build number | ?=Release | ?Also called | sort=Build number | order=desc | default=No releases with a build number that's not 999 (which indicates "unknown")
}} If your build number is not in this table and is:
- a bigger number, such as '759', then you are probably running a release candidate build.
- a much bigger number, such as '2258', then you are probably running a "joyride" development build.
- in between these numbers, then you are probably running an interim testing build; you should consider upgrading the XO to an official release.
- a smaller number, then see Builds#Build names and branches and Category:Release_notes for information on earlier releases; you should consider upgrading the XO to the latest stable build.
Timeline
This draggable query should show releases with a Property:Release date and/or Property:Target date. (Some future releases have neither so don't show up.) All dates and features sets on Future releases are subject to change {{#ask:
|?Release date |?Target date |?Status |format=eventline
