Kodi 18 aka Leia
Kodi v18 (Leia) has reached its final stage now thanks to Kodi team and all involved behind it.
XBian is not falling behind of course so the latest version has been built on Kodi 18. At this short moment is still available in staging repository only. If all goes well in hands of our developers, this should be available widely from our stable repository by end of the next week.
As I was writing this article all was checked and two major issues has been fixed [issue 1 ; issue 2]
And another feature brought by our main developer is the automatic version check/build function. So in the future, ~ALPHA and ~BETA tagged Kodi versions are automatically built to devel repo, ~RC tagged versions built to staging repo and final versions automatically to stable repo. All this new build feature was added in two days ago 08/02/2019
Before I have to check, if stable repositories are ready for Kodi v18 final
(means that all needed libraries are available in stable repo).
