LibreELEC is available in a final version 7.0.0

The fork of the Kodi-centric OpenELEC Linux mini-distribution LibreELEC project has been released. It`s taken six weeks crammed with activity to reach this point. The LibreELEC collective has grown to approx. 45 people (someone needs to start a who`s who guide) and there`s generally been some rather cool things happening around us. Happy times indeed. The v7.0.0 build contains Kodi Jarvis 16.1 (final) and a fix for some Verisign SSL certificate changes that impacted Pandora add-on users. It also addresses a bluez crash, a firmware update for Intel Skylake users, a fix for an Amlogic CEC issue on WeTek Play/Core. Most importantly it also contains our new logo branding. The website, forums, wiki, and social sites on Facebook and Twitter will be updated to showcase the same change in the next 48 hours. This also marks the point when we deep-freeze the libreelec-7.0 branch. From this milestone forwards the only commits allowed will be bug and security fixes or addon maintenance. This approach ensures our nice stable release will remain a nice stable release. It also creates a stationary target for a growing number of downstream projects who use LibreELEC as the JeOS platform for their own releases. There will be a news post to highlight some of these collaborations in the near future.

LibreELEC supports many of the popular HTPC hardware solutions, from Raspberry Pi 0/1/2/3 to Wetek, Odroid C2 and iMX6 (both via community support), and Intel based machines using Nvidia, AMD and Intel graphics solutions.
