I have been trying to read into XBox emulation and noticed over at emulation64 it had a progress update on CXBX it states "we are talking about the CVS version of CXBX" what exactly is this??? An unnofficial Build of Caustiks source? I really have no idea so if someone could help that would be great!

CVS is an acronym for Concurrent Versions System. The latest version of the source code resides on a server, and developers can download the latest code, at which point the changes are automatically merged on their local machine. Then after a developer makes new changes, he or she will upload those changes to the server where the server merges the new code into the project on the server. The purpose of CVS is to simplify to process of version control with multiple people working on a project.

So in this case, they are probably talking about a work-in-progress prerelease, unless the latest CVS source tree is available publicly.
