OLPC (One Laptop per Child) OS developer James Cameron announced the availability of a new stable update for the Fedora-based GNU/Linux operating system used by default on those low-cost, connected OLPC laptops.

OLPC OS 13.2.8 is now the latest version of the distribution, and while it's shipping with the newest Sugar 0.110 interface as default desktop environment, it appears to be based on a very old Fedora release, namely Fedora Linux 18, which was launched almost four years ago, on January 15, 2013.

The target platforms for the OLPC OS 13.2.8 release are the XO-1, XO-1.5, XO-1.75 and XO-4 OLPC models. The new release also implements support for IEC 80000-13:2008 and IEEE 1541-2002 standard units for disk space and memory, and removes the useless Sugar Web Account control panel.
