This is a complete snapshot of what is in CVS at the time the build was compiled, with just a few small additions.
Special Note From T3CH:
QUOTE
* Since XBMC is in a FEATUREFREEZE at the moment, I've decided to make more than one BUILD per week.
If you want to report bugs, please do it the PROPER way, see
http://manual.xboxmediacenter.de/wakka.php...SubmitBugReport
* Please note: Support for skins with versions < 2.0 has been removed
* I include a working modded QuickTimeBrowser script, I also enabled the background in the script.
* There's some -MAJOR- changes this time, Team XBMC has started to move towards a new setting system.
I can't explain it all here, but I can say this much - you will have to move some of your old folders, if you don't want to start fresh.
I suspect there will be even more changes soon, so you might want to wait with upgrading till things stabilizes a bit.
Music and Video libraries may need rescanning to get the thumbs.

Install notes from T3CH readme/nfo:
QUOTE
* DASHBOARD INSTALL
Thanks to a new app called 'Team UIX's Xbe Shortcut Maker v1.0' by JbOnE, it's now extremely easy...
Edit XBMC\xboxmediacenter.xml to your liking & transfer contents of XBMC folder TO (this is VERY important) "E:\APPS\XBMC\". Rename <> to something your bios can boot (see http://manual.xboxmediacenter.de/wakka.php...BMCAsDash#h44-2 or read your BIOS README) and transfer to your C partition. No need to fiddle with HOME tag anymore, and future upgrades you won't need to worry about this file on C.
* APPLICATION INSTALL
Edit XBMC\xboxmediacenter.xml to your liking.
Transfer _whole_ XBMC folder to your APPS folder.
* UPGRADE TIPS
If you're updating from a VERY old/bad build you may get issues. Follow these simple rules:
- Replace (FTP OVERWRITE) all files in your XBMC folder with fresh ones from your new build
- Delete old savegame/settings (from E:/TDATA/0face008)
- In some rare cases some of the database files in XBMC/Albums/*.db may need manual deletion (usually if they are very old). Note: This loses all per file settings you made with the old build!
The XBMC manual is available on The XboxMediaCenter manual has also been updated with information about the trainer feature, check it out on manual.xboxmediacenter.de.
You can add more scripts and skins yourself if desired. You can download them from http://allxboxskins.com, http://www.xbox-skins.net and http://www.xbmcscripts.com.
