(1/3) > >>

R-power:
Hi all,
please not ban me for this stupid question, please.

I've bought from an english forum member a wonderful H340 already rockboxed.
I'm pretty basic user,
so i do only periodic upgrade of daily build from website.
Today my iriver says:
version r13990 dated 2007-07-26
THIS IS THE LAST VERSION of your wonderful sw
or there are other versions?
What does is 2.5 version?
The one I have is the last version available or my rockbox may be updated more?
thanks a lot for Your useful replies.

LambdaCalculus:
Version 2.5 was released only for the Archos line of MP3 players. There still hasn't been an official release for the iriver DAPs yet.

You're as up to date as you can get for now, so go on and enjoy the music!  :)

AlexP:
2.5 was for the old Archos units only.

Rockbox is usually updated several times a day - whenever recent svn activity on the front page changes.  To get the most recent build, follow the link on the left for current builds.

As for how often you should upgrade, it is up to you.  If you see a new feature or a bug fix, then upgrade.  I personally do often!

One thing to note - if you experience a bug, please please please update to the most recent build and test before reporting.

No it isn't, as I write this, the most recent version is R14001, some 11 versions newer than yours!

Mikerman:
As noted above, usually changes to the code (many times a day) are smaller changes:  tightening of the code, elimination of unneeded code, changes affecting other players, etc.  Thus, you probably don't need or want to download the new code with each change (you could spend your entire life doing that).  But with a code development or bug fixes that enhance your listening experience, yes.

I have the firmware from a month ago and have been just fine and dandy with it (although I just dowloaded the most recent code, to get the advantage of developments since then).  Many people have firmware that's many months "old."

Something you may want to do:  check the opening page "Recent SVN activity" listing periodically (there is a link to developments over the past 4 weeks) and see if there is anything there that you now would like your player to have.  Of course, you also can visit the site daily, as many of us do, to check out developments as well.

You can also subscribe to the Rockbox SVN mailing list, which sends an e-mail on every source code change:
