Sugar 0.84 has a number of improvements above and beyond 0.82. And we have a version working on the OLPC XO-1, but because of the changes in process at OLPC, there is a new short-term strategy for updates. Until OLPC issues its next official release, we are recommending that XO-1 users who would like to try 0.84 use Sugar on a Stick. The XO-1 can be booted from an external USB or SD card storage device, [[#Run v0.84 of Sugar on a Stick from an SD card or external USB|Option 1]] below. | Sugar 0.84 has a number of improvements above and beyond 0.82.
