Rockbox 3.3 is released!

[Llorean]

Why would you assume it's not going to happen? Bootloaders don't need to be released at the same time as the releases, and in fact few bootloader releases have ever been at the same time as Rockbox releases.

OK, in that case it could be any time.

but i guess if the ones in that 9955 page in my signature work well for everyone i don't see what's holding back the release of the new bootloaders since USB is pretty much turned on in all PP devices besides IPOD's for the v3.3 release, right?

maybe im wrong here, but say the ones in that 9955 page are what they use... i assume there going to make it like the older ones where you run a simple .exe file and follow on screen instructions instead of the current 'sansapatcher.exe -a firmware.mi4' is now? (but if this is true it will probably take more time i would assume since someone has to make those 'sansapatcher.exe' files?)

just curious is all

I simply use the SansaLinux bootloader (obviously only works on the sansa 200s) it boots straight to rockbox when connected to usb and I get to use SansaLinux!

I hate to mention this but the new bootloaders fs#9955
have revealed a startup bug, that depending what startup setting is set, the player may or may not be recognized by the computer at switch on see fs#9957

Using a different bootloader won't make that bug go away, as it's not in the bootloader.

I don't really understand what you're trying to say with this comment.

I think he means the problem is more serious if you update to the new bootloader since you're more likely to encounter it.

Thanks a lot for this release!
Thanks for the new USB manager (Sansa e2xx user), the .jpg files with the AlbumArt.......

Absolute kudos to all the people working on rockbox.

I've been absent for a long time but just saw and installed 3.3 today. I upgraded from 3.0.

Great work this looks really good!

hello,

i'm new to Rockbox, through an accidental search to a post i wanted to check.. is there any possible way (i've noticed people have been asking this since Aug. 08'..) that this great firmware will work on e280v2 player..?

thanks in advance..

Uri

It is not supported yet, but if you search the forums you can find test builds.

[ushabtay]

thanks for the quick reply..

ok. found one: Sansa e200v2 (not the Sim nor the boot one)

how do i install it? i might be using Ubuntu for the past 3 years, but this is totally new to me

[Chronon]

This is not the right place to ask questions about that.  There should be instructions in the topic for the test build.  Ask there if you have further questions.

when is the new version of firmware going to come out. i hope it will have more apps and demos

Its updated several times a day.  Releases like 3.3 are just snapshots every 3 months of the normal build.
