Q30: Wait a minute here. You have released version 1.0, but not a single one
of the ideas you have spoken about is actually implimented! Calling this
version 1.0 is really misleading. Whats the story?!
A30: In simple terms, the first release is called 1.0 because it has a basic
working feature set that works and has no known bugs. That is what 1.0
means. It is true that Rockbox 1.0 lacks most of the feature set that
every sane user wants. However, we never said it was more
feature-complete or better in any way then the original firmware at this
early point. This first release was done as a proof of concept that our

Adding the missing features is just a matter of time (and that time goes
faster if you, yes you, help too).
Adding the missing features was just a matter of time. In more recently
releases we have completed many of our desired goals, and several new ones
that were implimented to fullfill user requests.
Q31: I've heard talk of a 'Rolo'. What is that? (Or 'All you ever wanted
to know about Rockbox boot loaders')
A31: The developers have discussed the possibility of a boot loader. (Mainly
because having one sounds cool, and isn't Rolo just a great name?)
The idea would be that a user could use the load to choose between
different verions of Rockbox or the Archo firmware itself. We do not
have an expected date on this. (As a matter of fact, developement on it
has not even started yet).
different verions of Rockbox or the Archo firmware itself. We have a
working version of ROLO implimented for the players, and a version in
development for the recorders. However, at this time, the patch for ROLO
is not optimal for use and is not part of the main branch of the CVS.
Once this improves and has been tested sufficently, it will become part of
the main release. Please check the mailing list logs and irc logs for more
information.
