A new development release of the LibreELEC open-source OS for Raspberry Pi and similar single-board computers has been unveiled recently, versioned 7.95.1 Beta. LibreELEC lets you transform a Raspberry Pi into a HTPC.

Based on the just-released third RC (Release Candidate) build of the upcoming Kodi 17 "Krypton" open-source media center and powered by the Linux 4.9.3 kernel, LibreELEC 7.95.1 Beta updates the Linux kernel support patches for Raspberry Pi SBCs, and adds UDL driver support to Raspberry Pi and Raspberry Pi 2 projects.

The new Beta version also updates the LibreELEC settings to version 0.8.7, but there's no news on the improvements implemented in this build. Moreover, the Raspberry Pi firmware has been updated to address some minor CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) issues, and libCEC to version 4.0.1 to add pulse-eight CEC adapter support.
