We would quickly like to take this time to announce the second release candidate for XBMC 12. Features for XBMC 12 include: HD audio support, including DTS-MA and Dolby True-HD, via the new XBMC AudioEngine Live TV and PVR support h.264 10bit (aka Hi10P) video software decoding for anime 64bit support in OSX to match the 64bit support in Linux Improved image support, allowing the database to accomodate numerous additional image types Support for the Raspberry PI Initial support for the Android platform Improved Airplay support across all platforms, including Airplay audio in XBMC for Windows to match the other platforms Improved controller support in Windows and Linux Advanced Filtering in the library Advanced UPnP sharing Translations now powered by TransifexAt this point, XBMC 12 is entirely feature complete. All changes from this point forward will exclusively include fixes for replicable bugs necessary to reach final release.Fixes between RC1 and RC2 include resolution of incorrectly disabling audio devices due to faulty detection, which should resolve all or most “audio suddenly stops altogether” complaints, along with numerous other stability enhancements and minor fixes. For the full list, visit our Github milestones for RC2.

About a month and a half after the release of XBMC 12.0, we are happy to announce XBMC 12.1 with substantial fixes for 12.0 across all platforms. Fixes include: XBMC now supports using OSX’s default output device for audio as well as hardware decoding with Intel GPUs in OSX XBMC no longer hogs audio for Linux and on resume audio will continue to work in Linux Full iPhone 5 resolution is now enabled Volume buttons on Android devices now control Android volume, rather than XBMC volume Volume buttons on OSX devices once again control OSX volume, rather than XBMC volume Player optimization on the Raspberry Pi, including more efficient playback, better subtitle support, and many crash fixes iOS 6 support on the AppleTV 2. XBMC does not crash when listed on the AppleTV top shelf Added support for additional Xbox 360 controller types Broader and more intelligent support for CEC devices Fixed problems with several addons due to broken binary read/write in our python interface Language fixes, including 7 new languages: Albanian, Burmese, Malay, Persian (Iran), Tamil (India), Uzbek, Vietnamese AirPlay fixes, including making discovery of XBMC more reliable on OSX Numerous crashing and stability fixes across all platformsFor all users interested in maximum stability, we highly recommend that you update from 12.0 to 12.1. This is the XBMC you were looking for.
In between coding up exciting new features, we have been hard at work pushing as many fixes as possible into the next bug fix release of XBMC 12. With 12.2, we’d like to ask your help in performing some bug testing, prior to the release.Broadly speaking, we are only looking for “crash and burn” reports. If XBMC resets on you or randomly crashes or something similarly major, we’d like to know about it with a note in the forum. If you elect to be a tester for 12.2pre, we would very much appreciate a debug log along with your crash report. Any reports without a log will be ignored. To make your report, we suggest visiting this thread.To get XBMC 12.2pre, simply visit our Test Builds page, and download the most recent test build for your system with the name “Frodo” at the end of the file.For more info and to make reports, see the testing thread on our forums.
