Dubbed Krypton, LibreELEC 8.0.0 has been in development since early October last year, during which it received over 200 nightly builds, no less than ten official Alpha versions, and a total of three Beta releases. It’s built around the recently released Kodi 17 “Krypton” open-source media center, so you’ll enjoy all of its cool new features. Since the last development release, the developers managed to add a few improvements, especially for WeTek Play 2 support. For example, LibreELEC 8.0.0 fixes some TVheadend issues for the WeTek Play 2 DVB driver and updates the WeTek Play 2 remote keymap to present more buttons.
