De vierde bètarelease van versie 6.0 van het Open Embedded Linux Entertainment Center is uitgekomen. Deze Linux-distributie is gebaseerd op Kodi en kan een computer tot een volwaardige htpc omtoveren. OpenELEC is eenvoudig te installeren, onderhouden en gebruiken, en is verder klein en razendsnel. In versie 6.0 is onder meer de overstap naar Kodi 15.1 gemaakt, zijn een groot aantal onderdelen uit het besturingssysteem bijgewerkt en is er nog het een en ander veranderd aan de ondersteunde hardware. De changelog van deze versie, die intern als 5.95.4 aangeduid wordt, ziet er als volgt uit:
