-\item[Daily Build.] The daily build is a development version of Rockbox. It
- contains features and patches developed since last stable version. It
- may also contain bugs! This daily build is generated automatically every day
- and can be found at \url{http://www.rockbox.org/daily.shtml}.
+\item[Current Build.] The current build is built at each source code change to
+ the Rockbox SVN repository, and represent the current state of Rockbox
+ development. This means that the build could contain bugs, but is most of
+ the time safe to use. You can download the current build from
+ \url{http://build.rockbox.org/}.
-\item[SVN Build] SVN stands for
- ``Subversion.'' SVN is the system that Rockbox
- developers use to keep track of changes to the Rockbox source code. SVN
- builds are made automatically every time there is a change to the
- Rockbox source. These builds are for people who want to test the code
- that developers just checked in.
+\item[Daily 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. You can
+ download the daily builds from \url{http://www.rockbox.org/daily.shtml}.
