    Kodi "Leia" 18.7 Release

    You may have noticed that we've adopted a RERO approach to Kodi - release early, release often. Our aim is to fix problems more quickly, and then get those fixes out into the wild equally as quickly. This might mean some issues escape alongside the bug fixes, but, overall, it should mean better software, sooner, and without the disruption of a major version bump.

    So, with no further fanfare: another release in the Kodi 18.x "Leia" cycle. The usual rules apply: bug fixes, not new features or functionality; most will be invisible, but will be much-appreciated if you're been suffering from a problem we've managed to address.

    You can find full details of closed pull requests on GitHub, so explore that if you want the details, but TL;DR...

    18.7 Leia Seems very sluggish at first. Channel switching a little slow. I did reset all, and now it seems better. andkaal
