**** changelog 0.48 **** 

Added "during boot" safety feature : left thumb = boots d:\default.xbe without doing anything else ( not even init of screen )
Added "during boot" safety feature : left thumb + right thumb = writes backup of EEPROM to the EEPROM ( stored in Avalaunch's "savegame" )

********* WARNING : Safety features wont work if eeprom is busted and harddrive is locked !

APOD : skips pic of today if it's GIF  ( duh, was a gif on releaseday )
Network : Added "Download" section, and put in QWIX there for now. 
updater : Fixed a auto-launch problem of the up

Implemented the 'properties' menu choice for the games/apps in the menu. Press Start to bring up the menu
network setup : DHCP will now request IP more... properly ( doesn't require TP cable to be inserted at boot anymore )
core : Fixed DVD problems regarding reading non-9660 cd/dvd's, affected both filemanager and ftp-server
shoutcast : fixed a major crashbug
shoutcast : added a server-list reader that looks in /shoutcast for .sc files ( containing single or several http:or shoutcast:links )
Located a hard-to-find http bug that occured only after many hours of intense data-transfers
did some fixes to iso9660 so it could be opensourced to XBMP/XBMC people.

Internal nickname : some xboxes has no nickname, added local IP for that part
FTP-server : added 9660 support
Extended the override icons setting to look for icon files that has the same name as the .xbe. E.g. football.xbe will look for avalaunch_icon.png, avalaunch_icon.jpg, football.png and then football.jpg
Added ability to set fan speed in the XML file
Enabled the dusty fanspeed-code, and set a safisfying setting to avoid fried chipsets
shoutcast : Made it read /shoutcast dir for .sc files in xbmp style. Location should be added to xml.

Added ability to specify whether or not to load random APOD's and to display APOD explanation or not to the XML file
Finished APOD, involving browsing through archives randomly and showing explanations

Core : fixed the system memleak we've had since the very beginning - not recorded any loss over 1 hour testing
Fixed delete folder to work on CesarFTP FTP servers
Controller button 'B' now changes to parent folder in the file manager (was button 'Y'; but other team members can be very persuasive thx to big baseball bats)
Fixed bug that could cause some XBoxes with large F drives to freeze on boot

FTP client : Uses SITE DELTREE command when delete folder is chosen and remote server is Avalaunch
FTP client : Switched to asynchronous file io to make transfers go faster
FTP client : Added implementation of BOOST mode support
FTP client : Automatically shows all Avalaunch servers on the local network (if they are set up to be shared) -> no more typing IPs and logins  :)
FTP server : Added BOOST mode, both upload and download for _maximum_ transferspeeds (10-11mb/s upload). For now only Avalaunch and Qwix clients can use boostmode, but protocol will be opened for those who wants
FTP server : Fixed internal cache a LOT for noticeably faster transfer speeds
FTP server : Added additional checks for 'FreeRootSpace' when CWD command is encountered. Not all FTP clients does PWD after CWD to check what the real folder is
