De vijfde en volgens de ontwikkelaars laatste bètarelease van Kodi versie 16.0 is uitgekomen. Deze crossplatform-mediacentersoftware wordt ontwikkeld voor Windows, OS X, Linux, Android en iOS. In versie 16.0 wordt onder meer de overstap van DirectX 9 naar 11 gemaakt, is er ondersteuning voor 4:3 Non-linear Stretch toegevoegd zodat ook oude tv-series goed worden weergegeven en worden instellingen van het uiterlijk van Kodi nu apart opgeslagen en niet meer samen met de overige systeeminstellingen. Verder kunnen er nu ook functies aan afstandsbedieningen worden toegekend wanneer een knop lang ingedrukt wordt en zijn er verbeteringen aan de add-on manager aangebracht. De changelog voor bèta 5 kan hieronder worden gevonden.
Kodi 16.0 beta 5 – Last Jarvis beta
With this announcement we are releasing the last beta in the Jarvis line before we are switching to Release Candidates. We hope the feedback from users regarding this beta is positive since we as team can’t test all use cases ourselves. As such we wan’t to thank all the users who helped us find the biggest blockers before we can move towards the Release Candidates.
Why the rapid succession of these releases you might wonder? By doing more releases in the shorter period we reduce the amount of changes that are included in each one. Instead of a huge list of changes it now only has several which gives a better overview. The advantage of that is possible regressions get picked up way faster and that you as user also get the benefit of not having to wait a long time to get these fixes.
This Release Early Release Often (RERO) is what we as a team have decided to go forward with as we see the benefits of this approach. Our developers don’t have to wait a very long time before their features get included in a release and you a user will also get to try them out without having to wait many months. Enough about the RERO approach as we’ll soon devote a special review about this.
This we only have a small list of fixes that made it into this last beta.
