OpenELEC 3.0 RC5 released

The OpenELEC team is proud to release the 5th Release Candidate of OpenELEC 3.0! Internally this is known by the less-catchy name OpenELEC 2.99.5 🙂

This Release Candidate fixes some issues found in our RC3 release as well it includes a lot of bugfixes to XBMC Frodo. This will be one of the last release candidates before OpenELEC 3.0 final, so please test and report issues.

With the last Release Candidates we got many requests for a Changelog. The most important changes from last Release Candidate you find above and the most import changes from our last final version you will find on bottom of this announcenment. For a more detailed changelog check github.

Together with our new partner Arctic we developed a own build to use on any Arctic MC001 (EU Model, US Model) devices (all, including any barebones). From now on we provide special builds for these devices. For more informations see: “Arctic announces passive cooled Systems with OpenELEC installed“
