De derde update voor versie 12.0 van XBMC Media Center is beschikbaar gekomen. Deze crossplatform-mediacentersoftware wordt ontwikkeld voor Windows, OS X, Linux, iOS en de AppleTV. In versie 12 zijn daar nog een Raspberry Pi- en Android-build bijgekomen. De port voor de originele Xbox wordt niet meer door dit team onderhouden. Versie 12.0, die codenaam Frodo heeft gekregen, bevat een groot aantal veranderingen. Zo is er ondersteuning voor hd-audio, kan er tv gekeken en opgenomen worden en is er nu ook een 64bit-build voor OS X. Versie 12.3 is een bugfix-release en bevat onder meer oplossingen voor problemen met OS X 10.9. De release notes voor deze uitgave staan hieronder.
XBMC 12.3 – Frodo fixes!
It has been around seven months after the release of XBMC 12.2 and we are happy to announce XBMC 12.3 with fixes for bugs found in the 12.2 release. The list of fixes contain several bug fixes that are back-ported from the ongoing development from our 13.0 Gotham release. The list only contains fixes that are deemed critical and are relatively easy to apply to the Frodo 12.2 release without risking stability regressions. This means we are aware of several shortcomings of Frodo and trying to fix those would be to intrusive or risky to apply. This also means that 12.3 will be the last of the Frodo line and all future, major improvements will only be included in Gotham 13.0
Without further ado here’s the list of fixes included:You can read the complete list of fixes here

Dealing with OSX 10.9
As many of you may have experienced, 10.9 has caused a number of issues for our current releases. In addition to forcing us to release a 12.3 version, we’ve learned that 10.9 appears to have reset security settings. Now to install XBMC, you need to right click the application after it’s been installed and select “Open” from the list (this need only be done once).
Alternatively, you can go to System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> General. From there, unlock the lock at the bottom of the window and “Allow apps downloaded from: Anywhere.” This second method is the preferred method, as you will no longer be bothered for future XBMC updates.
