Nice job again!! Please report the RAM and some picture. THK

It's the same as Release 9 - but with slightly newer components... The available storage is slightly higher than Release 9. I'll get round to screenshots later, however the only changes are detailed in the changelog.

CRC, as ever, excellent work, but why have you split out 9.x and 10? Is it because 10 is using a newer shell version?

(by the way, back on R9, not had a single lock up AT ALL in 24 hours of moderate to heavy use).

Thanks
Greg

this seems good.... i had gone back to 6.0... lemme test this one...

The reason for the split can be seen in post #3 of the development thread. Basically, while build 19209 seems to function perfectly for me, there seems to be a lot of people who have nothing but issues with it. For those people who have issues, it makes sense for me to offer something that is known to work for everyone.

The split also allows me to have a 'bleeding edge' version for people that want the latest and greatest in everything. All changes will be made straight away to the Development build, then when proven stable, will get added to the stable build. This includes updates in included software.

I believe this offers the best of both worlds - the people who want to test things can get the latest and greatest, and the people who need reliability can get something proven reliable.

IS IT OKAY to go FROM WM6.1 back to WM6 WITH NO issues?? I wanna try a 6.1 ROM, but I'm scared that I wont be able to FLASH back to my WM6 Rom(vp3G's WM6 v3.62 AT&T ROM) Does it work like that? Going back and forth between 6.1 and WM6 ROM's?????

I've been using CRC WM6.1 for quite a while. I usually flash Vp3G first before flashing an updated WM6.1 ROM. I haven't had a problem going back and forth between the two. BTW, Vp3G was my first WM6.0 ROM. Since then I have tried a variety of WM6.0 and 6.1 ROMs. Make sure you are using hard SPL.
