One for Players and one + for Recorders. However, we do have 3 other 'versions' of Rockbox + available for download. These would be Releases, Daily Builds, and + Bleeding Edge. + + The Release version (currently 1.4) has a fixed feature set. This means + that we are confident that few, if any, significant bugs still reside + within the code/features of that 'version'. This is the version for the + common user. + + The Daily Builds (see: http://rockbox.haxx.se/daily.shtml#target_builds) + are automated daily builds of the CVS code. As such they contain all + the new features (and bugs ;) ) that have been introduced after the + last official release, and upto and including that morning. + + The Bleeding Edge 'versions' are automated builds that are updated + every 20 minutes or so. This are as feature full and bug ridden as you + can possibly get if you are not a developer, or are not pulling directly + from the CVS tree. + + Please Note: Daily and Bleeding Edge builds are expected to be buggy. + We ask that you _do not_ submit bug reports for Bleeding Edge versions, + but would love to hear any reports you may have about Release or Daily + build versions. (see question #62). + - WARNING: Daily and bleeding edge builds are works in progress. Bugs - may be rampant, especially in the case of bleeding edge versions. - Check http://rockbox.haxx.se/daily.shtml for all unofficial releases. \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.2.3
