Known problems

• Upgrading the skin you are currently using fails on Windows. Temporary solution is switch back to the default Estuary skin and let the other skin update and then switch back.
• The new skin is cool, but unfortunately the install from zip function does not work with the new skin (confirmed thru users).

Those are the most noticeable ones. Remember this is still Beta software.


* I forgot to mention...
There was also a Privacy Policy update from the XBMC Foundation.
I always cringe in my boots when there is new updates to companies or corporations privacy policies.
You may wanna read that.
