What's new in OpenELEC 3.0 RC3:

February 22nd, 2013

· Apologies to all for the long delay since RC2. We found some important sound driver issues with recent kernel versions which we have solved with help from some of our users and Anssi Hannula, a kernel developer. Anssi is working on getting the fixes included in newer kernels so that all Distributions will benefit from this in the future. Many thanks for the great help!

What's new in OpenELEC 3.0 Beta 2:

November 30th, 2012

· This Beta fixes some issues found in our Beta 1 release, primarily fixing a non working video output on our ATV builds. Nvidia has decided to remove Geforce 6xxx and 7xxx support from newer drivers. For this beta we added Nvidia's 304.64 driver as a legacy version for use with our ATV builds. Users who are using our Generic builds together with GPUs older then Geforce 8xxx should switch to our Generic_OSS build or decide to change their Graphic card to a newer model (which would also add VDPAU support).

· Beta 2 also includes a new setting to our settings addon to change the amount of time before a hard disk goes into standby as well as some fixes for MCE compatible remotes. XBMC has been updated also which includes many bug fixes.

· Also this build updates the Intel and AMD graphic driver to the latest stable versions (xf86-video-intel-2.12.14 and xf86-video-fglrx-12.10).
