Chapter 2. Installation
Choosing a Rockbox version
There are three different versions of Rockbox available from the Rockbox website: Release
version, current build and archived daily build. You need to decide which one you want
to install and get the appropriate version for your player. If you select either "Minimal
Installation" or "Complete Installation" from the "Quick Start" tab, then Rockbox Utility
will automatically install the release version of Rockbox. Using the "Installation" tab will
allow you to select which version you wish to install.
Release. The release version is the latest stable release, free of known critical bugs.
For a manual install, the current stable release of Rockbox is available at
//www.rockbox.org/download/.
Current Build. The current build is built at each source code change to the Rockbox
SVN repository and represents the current state of Rockbox development. This
means that the build could contain bugs but most of the time is safe to use. For a
manual install, you can download the current build from http://build.rockbox.org/.
Archived Build. In addition to the release version and the current build, there is also an
archive of daily builds available for download. These are built once a day from the
latest source code in the SVN repository. For a manual install, you can download
archived builds from http://www.rockbox.org/daily.shtml.
Note: Because current and archived builds are development versions that change fre-
quently, they may behave differently than described in this manual, or they may intro-
duce new (and potentially annoying) bugs. Unless you wish to try the latest and greatest
features at the price of possibly greater instability, or you wish to help with development,
you should stick with the release.
