De ontwikkeling van XBMC Media Center versie 13.0 is bij de derde bètarelease aanbeland. Deze crossplatform-mediacentersoftware wordt ontwikkeld voor Windows, OS X, Linux, Android, iOS, AppleTV en de Raspberry Pi. Versie 13.0, die codenaam Gotham heeft gekregen, bevat een groot aantal veranderingen. Zo is er onder meer hardware decoding in Android en ondersteuning voor 3d-materiaal, en zijn er flinke verbeteringen aan de audio-engine doorgevoerd. Ondersteuning voor Windows XP is komen te vervallen. De release notes voor bèta 3 zien er als volgt uit:
XBMC 13.0 Gotham – Beta 3 Returns
Once again with Beta 3 we are looking at almost entirely fixes rather than features. Still, many of those fixes are worth mentioning in an abbreviated change log, and at least one is worth bringing up by name.
Ever since the release of iOS 7, Airplay support in XBMC has suffered. Fortunately, thanks to generous contributions from our users, the Foundation has been able to purchase hardware specifically for testing and development of this and related issues, and dev Memphiz appears to have finally resolved the majority of Airplay issues in this Beta release (except for Android for now). If you continue experiencing Airplay issues after installing beta 3, be certain to post about it in the forum and include a debug log.
For a full rundown of the major features of XBMC 13, as well as a review of the hazards of switching to XBMC 13, see our Beta 1 post.
