Første "public" Avalaunch version ude!

Endelig kom den første "public" version (v0.39) af Avalaunch til Xbox, som efter min mening overgår Evolution-X på mange punkter - især er Autoupdate og Long Filename support meget interessant!

Der kan læses mere om Avalaunch her: http://www.crusaders.no/members/joker/avalaunch/

Endnu en ny version af Avalaunch er ude.
Den bliver bedre og bedre!

- Added on screen keyboard to the telnet client.
- Added 'dimmed' background to OnScreenKeyboard #2.
- Changed texture rendering states (some icons in the game menu do have an alphachannel).
- Fixed several FTP-server bugs, aloowing a lot more clients in now.
- Added "used memory" counter with an additional counter for corrupted memory.
- Stopped a few nasty memleaks thanks to the memoryhandler.
- Added a version checker in updater that figures out if you already have last version.
- Uppercased the driveletters.
- rewrote the parts that handles long filenames to accept new driveletters without needing to remake database.
- Fixed so you can join channels with # in front.
- CTRL + F4 leaves a channel.
- Patched all media files to accept other drives than D: (allows booting as a dash).
- Made a temp solution for scrolling up and down until the skinnable window-ui is completed, use up/down.
- Added versionnumber to "alpha"-line.
- Repositionned the IP-adress for monitors with small visual area.
- Added a few 3d effects in bootup since xbox got that capasity in the beginning anyway.
- Doesn't request DHCP before TP-cable is connected, so you don't have to reboot to get IP.
- Static IP now works.
- Added DNS and subnetmask to static options.
- Optimized some netcode during the hunt for the missing static support.

De spytter dem jo ud.

- Added setting so that Avalaunch will no longer reboot the XBox when you do 'eject'.
- Fixed the rendering states so that the icons in the games menu is working again.
- Added free space reporting in ftp drive-list, and description of inserted DVDs.
- Added support for illegal filenames.
- Rewrote a lot of the ftp-server core, seem way more stable now.
- Added a file-cache system for writing of files to ftp-server. Testersay attention to the memory-size
- Added cleanup of a lot of memory and threads when executing.
- Added a temporary menu to irc for controlling transparency and fontsizes, use start and triggers to access and use.
- Fixed a _LOT_ in the input class. Keyboard should work flawless and any weirdness in the controller is taken care of.
- Increased the "power" to the user interface, windows in irc and telnet are somewhat more often updated (try resizing).
- Fixed a crashbug in irc that crashed when you closed all windows.
- Fixed the callback-timer, only remembered the two last timed events, invisible for users - vital for us.
- Fixed some errors in FATX2, seems to work ok, but eventually we want a total rewrite of this soon.
- Took away the IRC background logger. Felt it wasn't neccesary for debug anymore, and the PING's got annoying.
- Added a movie-name detection for DVD-movies that contains pc-friendly information, atm only posted through FTP.
- Added better ftp-client compatibillity.
- Added more settings/hardware info, a LOT to go.
- Hold left trigger when cube "hits the screen" to auto-start last started program, adding "special combos" soon for quickstart.
- Added multi-server support for update-engine.
