XBMC 13.2 Gotham Final Release

XBMC developers have just released XBMC 13.2, which could be one of the latest, if not the latest release, under the name XBMC, before Kodi 14 makes it debut. Since it’s only a minor release (13.x), there aren’t any new features, only bug fixes, and it should be safe to upgrade from older 13.x release on various supported operating systems and probably, except possibly in some Android TV boxes where you may have a custom version of Android specific to your hardware / SoC.

List of changes against XBMC 13.1:

Fix audio problems with pass-through on OSX
Crash in Android if an app is favourite, then uninstalled from system.
Fix crash in Android when entering programs menu in some skins
Bitstream conversion fix for some BD mkv iso rips
Fix labelcontrols with autowidth set were always marked as dirty (re-render)
Update included PVR add-on
Set “remote as keyboard” default to true for Android
Fix FTP TLS not working
Fix some disappearing characters on Mac OSX
Fix onplaybackstarted event for external players
Don’t show OSD menu DVD menu with mouse/touch
GetText and delete sound option for add-on developers
Fix wrong sample-rate selection on OSX
Fix optical usb devices with > 2 channels on OSX
Fix firewall popups in OSX on start-up
Make the fake full-screen option only visible when running OSX snowleopard
Fix overlapping subtitles
Fix accented letters. Example: “VARIéS” rather than “VARIÉS”
Prompt for master pin in case the add-on manager is locked
Update GUI translations
Update included add-ons
Fixed several bugs and memory leaks

You can download the latest XBMC @ xbmc.org/download, and in Android, alternative methods are also available, albeit not all of them may have been updated just yet.

Thanks to Harley.
