New versions of Kodi and LibreELEC are out, but only for recent Pi owners
LIBREELEC was forked from OpenELEC, which began life in 2009 as a minimal Linux flavor for running XBMC. This also found its way to the Pi shortly after the latter’s inception. In 2017, the project was abandoned and most of the developers joined the LibreELEC project. LibreELEC describes itself as Just Enough OS (JEOS) to run Kodi and strategically times its releases to coincide with those of the latter. Kodi 19, codenamed Matrix, was a big release and in August 2021 this was incorporated into LibreELEC 10.0.0. Since then, there have been a few point revisions of both. The current version is 10.0.2 with Kodi 19.4, but it’s possible newer editions will be available by the time you read this.
