Avalaunch v0.49.1 (build 62) Release Notes

===============================================================================





Yepp.. Somehow we figured we'd fix a lot of problems and send out another one =)

Many things works better now, and some things now works which never did before.



Overall, we're very happy with this version. Gueux'net guys have been helpful

in every way they have been able to, testers have skipped sunbathing to nail

the last bugs on the list and just a few of our programmers know that it's

summer at all... (Don't tell them)



We are aiming high on the dotfifty engine now tho. 2 coders are putting in all

their spare time into some massive UI system, 1 coder went to a monastery in tibet

for meditation and to find himself. ( altho someone said he went to Thailand instead )

and a couple others are working on what ended up here with this textfile.

Either way... what I mean with all this is that these releases is just our

steppingstone to what we really want.







About video mode switching

--------------------------

To avoid confusion, the runtime modeswitch changes EEPROM values, and

reinitializes screen - then to overwrite with the previous values,

leaving the screenmode as you selected till reboot).



===============================================================================

NOTE

===============================================================================

The EEPROM is an essential part of your Xbox. It contains all the information

the hardware needs to initialize properly. Manipulating the data contained in

this chip always involves a certain risk, as bad data, power failures and other

elements beyond Avalaunch's control can interfere. Although Avalaunch creates

backups, and does everything in its power to ensure that your EEPROM is not

corrupted, we cannot and will not take responsibility for the data contained in

your EEPROM. Please use all EEPROM-manipulating features at your own risk.

===============================================================================





We'd like to thank all our users, you've done a great job reporting those bugs,

and keeping us on our toes with new feature requests :-)...



Special thanks fly to bmbr for hosting and maintaining our web site, to D-Blood

for hosting and maintaining our bug tracker and the whole testing team for so

much dedication to help us deliver a great release of Avalaunch!



Also thanks to modchipman for the logo contest prizes and no_remorse for the

great Avalaunch jewels. You guys rock!

CHANGELOG

===============================================================================



Audio

-----

Removed SDL

Made OGG/Vorbis decoder codec.

Fixed the WMA codec so you can skip songs here now without having it change on it's own



Core

----

Yow can boot as a single file, little crashbug there

Cleared some xbe flags that allows ava to boot on empty hdd

Keyboard up disables music control

Keyboard doesnt mix in with settings menu

videomode/videoflags/audioflags/parental settings uses nothing but kernel calls now, still leaving in all security

eeprom key to unlock some keys tended to get zero'ed out after IGR on some bioses, so we put in the default one

Added a hddlock feature that keeps a secure backup of the keys, comparing them so it will only lock if keys match

Fixed so warning/info boxes can contain more than one line - esp made for eeprom warning and KAI onjoin

remade the default bootlogo to a higher res so it looks a tad more slick



Filemanager

-----------

fixed the weird shade on most resolutions



KAI

---

Fixed crashbugs when joining rainbow 6 and halo + more

Fixed the crashbug that occurs when you try to attach to KAI while it's already started at boot



Languages

---------

Added Portugese language file (by GamerBR).



QuickStart

----------

Changed path handling. QuickStart shouldn't be quite as picky on how you specify the paths anymore.



Screensaver

-----------

screensaver-x both loads and stays loaded now - as opposed to loads and being overwritten in memory as it used to

changed to reflection type mapping on the texture to make it a bit nicer-looking



Settings

--------

Fixed the IDE Master/Slave typo.

Fixed a keyboard priority error making keyboard look funny

Fixed XBFTP keyboard thumbstick by disabling music control if keyboard is up

Fixed the KAI username/password keyboard bug

Fixed KAI password/username info disappearing



skins

-----

fixed a few allxboxskins-bugs in those archives where skins aren't compressed with dir

Moved screensaver.x to skins ( but will still read the xbe-one/in the xbe-dir if nothing is located with skin )



Telnet Client

-------------

Kicks user to menu instead if entertaining it in an eternal loop if an error occures



Updater

-------

Fixed a major problem within updating that would pretty much render it useless. ( make sure it really got updated to this one )

( old updater might require you to delete olddash.xbe )
