They can be found here:
http://build.activitycentral.com/DX4/ marked with the version number 40002.

Images for XO 1, 1.5, 1.75 and 4 are available.

* Rebased on Sugar 0.97.10 and OLPC OS 13.1 rev 10
  - Fixes, among others: sdxo#2611, 2616, 2605, SL#4144
  - Fixed WPA password window not appearing
  - Fixed sound in several applications
  - On screen keyboard (maliit) working.
* RPMs can be updated with "yum groupinstall dextrose4" from this point on
* New activity set, coming from http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/G1G1/13.1
  - Functional Browse and terminal provide the basic tools for activity testing
* New versioning scheme for the sugar rpms, based on git.
 - Example: sugar-0.97.10-140_g6162688
 - 4 fields are: package name - version (latest upstream tag the code
was rebased against) - number of commits done by AC _ git commit id.
 - This provides a clear connection between git and the rpms, making
easy to identify what code is in the package.
 - It is automatically generated during build with "git describe
--tags", so there is less margin for error.

Usability notes on tablet mode:
* The on screen keyboard is only shown when focus on in a text field
and the XO is in tablet mode (with the screen turned over and
completely closed over the physical keyboard).
* To show the frame while in tablet mode, swipe your finger starting
from the top of the screen to a few centimeters. The same gesture
hides the frame.
* QA of the touch capabilities should be done using the on screen
keyboard and gestures, avoid using the touchpad and physical keyboard.

Regards, and happy testing.
