T3CH released a new CVS compile of XboxMediaCenter(
homebrew database).
This T3CH-compile is a complete snapshot of what is in CVS at the time the build was compiled, with just a few small additions.
XBMC is in a FEATUREFREEZE at the moment.
Here's the added/changed/updated stuff from the changelog since the 2006-04-27 T3CH CVS release:
* added: "Safe mode" key combination (WHITE + Y) on startup to invoke the fatal error handler (gives FTP access). Thanks to Bizzeh.
* added: Direct3d Setviewport export for dlls.
* added: manual allmusic button to my music.
* updated: lame to version 3.97beta2 (system/cdrip contains the updated dll)
* changed: Cleaned up the video assigning code. Video thumbnails are now stored in UserData/Thumbnails/Video.
* changed: Cleaned up the IMDb thumb code a little. GetThumb from the Movie Information page now allows users to select between the IMDb thumb and their local thumbs.

* changed: Cleaned up the IMDb thumb code a little. GetThumb from the Movie Information page now allows users to select between the IMDb thumb and their local thumbs.
* changed: Thumbs in My Videos are set via a background loader.
* changed: IMDb thumbs are now cached in the usual method (no need for the separate imdb folder). Will require rescanning.

... rest of changelog (including many fixes).
Noteworthy, XML and Script changes in this build:
* Please note: Support for skins with versions 2.0 has been removed
* I include a working modded QuickTimeBrowser script, I also enabled the background in the script.
* There's some -MAJOR- changes this time, Team XBMC has started to move towards a new setting system. I can't explain it all here, but I can say this much - you will have to move some of your old folders, if you don't want to start fresh.
I suspect there will be even more changes soon, so you might want to wait with upgrading till things stabilizes a bit.
Music and Video libraries may need rescanning to get the thumbs.
