TO DO

== Notable current bugs ==

=== libxml2, GCompris and Write ===

The included libxml2-2.7.1-1 has a nasty XML parsing bug. A newer libxml2 with the fix is available but breaks Write.xo (when initializing libabiword). 

The impact of this bug is limited to newer versions of GCompris -- the [[GCompris| GCompris release targetted for 8.2.x]] works around this bug and is recommended.

=== Miscellaneous ===

Unless noted in the bug fixes above, the open bugs are the same as in release [[Release notes/8.2.0|8.2.0]], and [[Release notes/8.2.1|8.2.1]] .
