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.

There are three main options for OLPC XO users: (1) run v0.84 Sugar on a Stick on an SD card (2) install v0.84 Sugar on a Stick on the internal NAND; or (3) use olpc-update (which is currently Sugar v0.82).

'''Note:''' The OLPC XO-1 has some built-in protections including a lock designed to prevent haphazard software changes. In order to use either [[#Run v0.84 of Sugar on a Stick from an SD card or external USB|Option 1]] or [[#Install the v0.84 Sugar on a Stick image|Option 2]], XO-1 owners must [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activation_and_developer_keys request a developer key from OLPC.] It may take up to 24 hours after the request has been made to receive your developer key.
