3.0?

[AstroBoy]

I just installed the most current using the Rockbox Utility.  I now have version r18651-080926

Is that 3.0?

It does not seem any different.  It would be nice to put 3.0 in the version number somewhere.

If that is not 3.0, how do I install 3.0.  The install instructions say using the Rockbox Utility is the easiest.

Thanks.

As was said, 3.0 will not be any different than the "Current Build" in terms of features. In fact, the Current Build has already moved on ahead of it.

I believe you need to manually download and extract 3.0 right now, we're working on bringing out a version of the utility that will install it.

But why did you expect it to look/seem different? Was there something in the documentation that suggested it would?

No, that would be today's build.

I guess I was expecting to see 3.0 somewhere.  What use is calling it 3.0 if it is really r18123 or something.

If I must unzip manually, why does the upgrade instructions say the Utility is easist?  This is what mesed me up.

I now have 3.0.  There is a "3.0" in the version.

Thanks for the help.

What use is it calling it r18123 instead of 3.0?  Things often have names, get over it.

rbutility hasn't been updated to offer the release version as an option, so you just got the latest build (which is what is supposed to happen).

I guess you missed my point.  From the 3.0 release notes:
Using the Rockbox Utility is the easiest way to install Rockbox 3.0. Simply run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions. Make sure you stop/eject/unmount the usb disk before you unplug it.

That's what I did and I did not know if I had 3.0 or not.  In fack I did not.  The release notes are wrong.

"In fact you did not." As our guidelines say, please use real English. We even have a spell checker to help you with this.

The release notes, unfortunately, assume a perfect world in which the installation tools were finished sooner than they were. The world is not perfect, and they will come soon.

Which is fixed now. Unfortunately Rockbox Utility needed some slight adjustments for 3.0, so this took a bit (and keep in mind that all this is done by volunteers which have their day jobs too). If you want to use Rockbox Utility for installing the 3.0 release you mustn't use the automatic installation though -- but you can do so and afterwards "update" your build to 3.0.
