FSD 2.0 Current status / Release information

You guys keep asking about an eta : we have no ETA and probably wont have. Working on FSD is a hobby for all the team, so we never know much time we can put on it.

Current Status :
Its pretty hard to give an overall status... Media player is still not in there (JQE is working on this, but still not committed the code)
Recent games list still need to be totally redone. Some skin work need to be done to have a dynamic number of tabs. We still need to experiment and try to figure out how to get stock dash recently played list. If we cant do easily we'll probably just add a last time played datetime to each game and use this.
Favorites : Still need to be 100% rewritten.
Game type switching : Still need to be 100% rewritten
Copy DVD : Still need to adapt FSD 1.XX code and properly clean. Currently not working.
File Manager : Working but we want to change the way it behave (should be back to drive list instead of having to use shoulder button to switch drive)
Nand flasher : working great
About : Still need some work but will be quick.
Game List : Games are listed but not sorted. Everything still need to be plugged in (boxart, game description, preview). I think game renaming feature broke in some previous rev, will need to fix it.
Built-In Indexer : Need to add screenshots and preview movie with proper settings.
HTTP : Still having some freeze issue and need to tweakt it a bit, otherwise its working great. Need to add priorites to the download queue.
XeX extraction : Working great.
Skin Edit Mode : Working great.
Skin customisation : Working great.
RSS Reader : Still need some work.
Internal XML Reader : We're looking to change it to a SAX implementation, still need to be done.
Autoupdater : First tests are working great but still need some intensive testing.
Multilanguage : No work has been done on this yet.

Theres still lots of "Surprise" we have to experiment with and see what can be done than may imply changes in previous listed stuff.
