Here is the FULL changelog since the October 09th 2005 build (last one posted on xbins/xbox-scene):

QUOTE

- 17-10-2005 changed/fixed: xbe regions will only be used in my programs (not with xbmc.runxbe nor in my files). avoids a potential freeze on xbe launch.
 - 17-10-2005 added: new visbility condition, system.hasalarm(alarmname). for use in skins.
 - 17-10-2005 added: new builtin command xbmc.cancelalarm(alarmname)
 - 17-10-2005 changed: new alarmclock syntax! xbmc.alarmclock(alarmname,command,time).
 - 17-10-2005 fixed: cancelling an alarm clock would trigger the command.
 - 17-10-2005 changed: sid tag loader now uses both stil.txt and sidlist.csv.
 - 17-10-2005 added: A .sid codec for paplayer (Commodore 64 Music). Based on libsidplay2+resid.
 - 16-10-2005 fixed: context menus in my video windows
 - 15-10-2005 added: Support for Direct3d DrawIndexedPrimitive from plugins.
 - 15-10-2005 added: More DirectX exports.
 - 15-10-2005 added: Watched/UnWatched filtering in Video Library views (Thanks to MercuryInc)
 - 14-10-2005 fixed: auto region for games on dvd.
 - 14-10-2005 updated: Italian language file (Thnx to kotix)
 - 14-10-2005 updated: Chinese (Traditional) language file (Thnx to omenpica)
 - 14-10-2005 updated: German language file (Thnx to deezle)
 - 14-10-2005 updated: Norwegian language file (Thnx to vnm)
 - 14-10-2005 added: my programs bookmarks now support multiple paths defined in the true xml way, like this:
                     <bookmark>
                       <name>Games</name>
                       <path>E:\games</path>
                       <path>F:\games</path>
                     </bookmark>
 - 13-10-2005 changed: don't let PAPlayer itself decide to disable .ac3/.dts files if digital output is enabled. The player still supports the files just no passthrough. Allows user to force use of PAPlayer for .ac3/.dts files.
 - 13-10-2005 changed: Logging starts earlier (some logs weren't being logged)
 - 13-10-2005 fixed: Music files navigation, same path could be in the directoryhistory more then once in a row (causing having to press back multiple times to navigate back)
 - 13-10-2005 added: Playlists in My Music Library now act as folders.  The items are displayed in the order found in the playlist.
                     Since no tag data is read for these items yet, they are not sortable, and only displayed by filename.
 - 13-10-2005 fixed: My Music Library Playlist listing was not sortable
 - 13-10-2005 fixed: xbms shares should be working again, they are case sensitive
 - 13-10-2005 fixed: dvdplayer could hang if player was paused and user tried to exit the player
 - 12-10-2005 fixed: dts -> analog codec did not always work for dvdplayer
 - 12-10-2005 fixed: Seekbar was broken, should work now
 - 11-10-2005 fixed: paths with commas in my music files
 - 11-10-2005 fixed: bug in my music library albums regarding albums with the same name, aka "greatest hits"
 - 11-10-2005 removed: setting blank or missing music tags to "unknown"
 - 11-10-2005 changed: cleaned up dts/ac3 passtrough code somewhat for dvdplayer
 - 10-10-2005 fixed: videomode override should work for ntsc->pal now.
 - 10-10-2005 updated: mplayer.dll (new ffmpeg, fixes some avi files among other things)
 - 10-10-2005 fixed: control.hasfocus() didn't work on dialogs, only full windows
 - 10-10-2005 changed: how my music files keeps its path history.  this should correct naviagtion issues with overlapping bookmarks, and bookmarks which can traverse into the playlists location.
                       this changes how <default> path and activatewindow with a dest path work.  they are now behave as a virtual bookmark so back from there will display the root bookmark listing.

From T3CH readme/nfo:

New Dashboard install method
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 <<RENAME_ME.xbe>> 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.

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.
Keep in mind this is a CVS snapshot of the current development tree. It's not a official (stable) point release. Use only if you know what you are doing.

15-10-2005 added: Watched/UnWatched filtering in Video Library views (Thanks to MercuryInc)

How do we access this?  I looked, but I don't see a "watched/unwatched" selection in My Videos.  Is the "Video Library" the same as "Title" view?

All of the builds still have a big bug! A bug with .tbn pictures. Some movies don't show all the pictures even when u unstack. This problem needs to be addressed in "ALL THE NEW BUILDS"

I have been waiting for this for a long time. How does it work?

Hope you have submitted your bug report correctly through sourceforge so we can see it get fixed by these kind dedicated people who toil away for no money in their own time.

Keep Up The Good Work Guys!

One thing that may have already been addressed, but I'm not sure (I've been in Iraq, ok?  <_< ) is that when I have two similarly named videos (ie Child's Play.avi and Child's Play 2.avi), the thumbnail and movie description remains the same for each of them.  Even if I set one and then change the other, the first will change to the second, making them both the same.

I know I could make one Child's Play.avi and Child's Play Two.avi, but I'm real anal about the names and I'd appreciate you all looking into it.  Great work so far!  My entire commo team loves your program and has kept us entertained for an entire year in that damn sandbox!  Thanks!

The reason that happens is the xbox thinks Child's Play 2.avi is the next disk / file in a spanning set.  Like when you copy a dvd movie to cd-r usaully good quality rips are 2 CD sets  eg  Child's Play CD1.avi and Child's Play CD2.avi

So it is not a bug.
