For those of you who are new to XBMC, please understand and respect that Team-XBMC only maintain the XBMC source code - we do not release or distribute Xbox executable (XDK binaries). You can not run just source code on an Xbox, so do not download it from our site if you do not have the XDK and can compile it yourself, (again, you will require a compiled version of XBMC to run on your Xbox, but do not ask us where to find nor where to download pre-compiled versions of XBMC!). Please read our FAQ and the XBMC Online-Manual (WIKI) carefully before posting/asking anything in our official XBMC community-forum.
Know that the XBMC CVS feature-freeze has officially now been lifted, meaning our developers are allowed to add new features/functions to the XBMC CVS again. However, Team-XBMC have agreed to take it easy on the new features/functions for the next few upcoming weeks, so that if many valid bug-reports come in about the XBMC 2.0.0 point-release then we may possibly have to release a 2.0.1 point-release before we fully let loose on the XBMC CVS. In any case, we have decided to at the very least keep the freeze on the language strings for another two weeks, so if your language is not available (or up-to-date) please submit your translation now, (you may even end up in the credits if we make a 2.0.1 point-release).
Note! Yes, there are still a few known bugs left in the XBMC 2.0.0 point-release, but none serious enough to stop you from fully using and enjoying XBMC on your Xbox. Any and all assistance to squash these outstanding issues is welcomed, please see our manual on how to submit a proper bug-report.
Finally, we like a say goodbye and thank you to Chokemaniac (Project Mayhem III skin author) who now officially leaves the XBMC-project due to lack of spare time. We all wish him the best.
PS! New Proper bug-reports from end-users and new features/functions and bug-fix patches from independent programmers are always welcomed, as is confirmation and additional replication information (or samples) about known bugs.

XBMC stores all its settings in UserData folder
"Main Settings" can be set either by GUI settings, or by editing Userdata\guisettings.xml (gets created with default settings if missing upon boot)
Furthermore you can OVERRIDE GUi settings via a usercreated file called advancedsettings.xml, you also have NON Gui settings at your disposal here.
This info is in the nice manual, see my sig.

Ah, I didn't know new features were gonna be added AFTER V2 would be released. I was expecting them all at once at the release of V2. Call me greedy.
Let me just explain a bit more in case there are others with your same mentality on this.
If new features were just added and the devs called it V2 then there would be an extremely large chance that many bugs would be in the V2 release. This happens when you first try implementing new things into code. The devs did not want a V2 release that was very buggy so everyone would be waiting for V2.0.1 or V2.0.2 that fixed their bugs.
Instead all the features that would be in V2 were added a while back. XBMC went into feature freeze and weekly "bug fix" builds were released. The goal was to get XBMC into as close as bug free, stable, polished, etc as it could get and then label that tree as 2.0.0. So now when XBMC goes out of feature freeze and potentially becomes more unstable, everyone can continue to fall back on V2 until the next stable build.
Hope this helped abate your disappointment in V2 a bit.

Wikipedia is your friend. In future, use it if you are unsure:
CVS: I can't really dumb this down, just read.
Feature freeze: Basically no major new features are added, hence feature freeze. The program is in a beta stage and is considered "not yet ready for release". With XBMC this meant that for the past few months you were potentially using version 2.0.0 just with bugs that were still to be ironed out. This explains why 2.0.0 would not look different to the last weekly build.
Point release: OK so Wikipedia could do with being expanded on this one. Normally a point release is like a small bugfix version. However, with XBMC, the point releases refer to for instance 1.0.0, 1.1.0 and 2.0.0 which are major releases, this works because they are taking point release as a 'reference point' release, basically a release when there are virtually no bugs in the code and therefore if anyone has problems with a current build they can refer back to the last point release and be assured it is stable. This also complies with the meaning on Wikipedia as 2.0.0 compared with the last weekly build did only "fix bugs or do minor cleanups rather than add features".
I hope this clarifies these terms for you.

In case you didn't notice, this fails per the '+' sign in the file name..I simply renamed mine so the FTP from PC->XBOX could complete (only 3 files) and then renamed to orig. direct from XBOX. Just an alternate solution.

I wouldn't get all hung up on a version number for open source software. In my opinion, versioning a software release is a tool used by commercial developers to hype their latest release in order to increase sales. XBMC is open source, created and enhanced by people working on the project in their own spare time for free.
Lets not forget that during the push towards 2.0, the Devs have given you:
Complete locking control
Fully configurable user accounts
UPnP networking
Nearly 100% GUI configuring
Animated skinning support
Improved online wiki manual
Plus about a thousand other fixes and improvements added within a six month period. Instead of looking for more, more, more, why not realize this is the best networkable media player available, and thank the Devs that make it all possible.

i used the ultimate boot cd to format my hdd then i add xbmc as dash.it works fine but i do not see a default or xbmc xbe,just the xml..so i erased the existing xbmc and replaced w/newer 2.0 still straight to dash...so i used slayers to install evox as a dash and xbmc as a app. thats how i did it to my old hdd.started with evox then stepped up to xbmc..still nothing..
is there a new way to install it..did i miss something along the way.i noticed that the ultimate bood cd stored memory in my udata ,so everytime i tried to install ect.,i ereased all file associated w/the boot cd as well as the setting for xbmc and evox in the appropiate udata folders..

There's a whole new way to have it as a dash. Read the readme and other details in the realease for instructions. I use the basic shortcut supplied in the download (named something that my bios will load before the xboxdash.xbe - so in the case of Xecuter 4983.3 bios or whatever it could be avalaunch.xbe or evoxdash.xbe or whatever, doesn't really matter or need to be accurate) and then it is set to point to E:/Apps/XBMC. It's all explained in there, just read the instructions.

Thanks to all concerned.
I was waiting on a point release to upgrade the four or five XBOXs that I've set up for friends but I'm still kind of wondering if I should hang out for 2.0.1 to mop up the last few minor problems.
My question is:
Will (or Have) the dev team forked the development tree now so that we can look forward to an elimination of the few remaining bugs in the point release with the 2.0.1 branch etc, or...
are the dev team still in feature freeze until after 2.0.1 or....
will 2.0.1 have new features and therefore the potential for new problems?
To put it another way, will 2.0.1 become the new 'point release' (replacing 2.0.0), or is it the start of a long line of new development?
