XBMC Skin MC360 nearing completion, ready for Christmas?

Don't worry, we aren't dead and we haven't lost interest. Team Blackbolt have been working on MC360 and its very near to being ready for what we call our 1.0 Final release. Now we don't mean its our final release of MC360 ever, it just means it will no longer be a beta, it will be a finally completed product with all the features we intended it to have. The most important thing is there is well over 100 changes, some small, but many big. We have added new features, changed some completly, updated alot and fixed many many bugs. One major upgrade is the 2.1 skinning engine. We no longer use the standard 2.0.1 release engine. XBMC T3CH releases since 2.0.1 have featured the 2.1 skinning engine already under way. This new revision on the engine enhances the skinners ability to create more creative skins and better user interactions and animations. We think you'll like it a lot.

Ok the important stuff. MC360 is nearly done, we will release a 1.0 build, and after that we will maintain it as and when its needed via updates on this site. For the future, Team Blackbolt are taking a break over the holiday period, after that, sometime in mid-january, we will begin the creation of 'eX' our new skin. You can find more info about that in our skins section. Keep your eyes pealed to this page for more info on an actual release date and how we plan to bring this to you. The team thanks you all for the past year and how welcome you have made us feel in the community and scene. MC360 has been a great project to create and even better to see everyone enjoy it.

This is excellent news, great work!

My only complaint is that now we will all be waiting anxiously for "eX". Always something to look forward to I guess. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

So is Mc360 1.0 going to be released for the latest T3CH releases or will it be for 2.0.1?
Reason I ask is because alot of people are not using what the latest SVN has to offer because it is a little buggy. And many are using the official 2.0.1 build.

All the stuff needed to run it is allready in the latest SVN and when a new t3ch comes out (useally every week) it will run it just fine if fact it would run on the current t3ch if all the crashes wern't there

And no it will probably be seperate release

Thanks for the skin!  Every time I use XBMC w/ this skin I am reminded what I wish the xbox 360 dash could perform.
