OpenELEC 8.0.3 comes one week after the previous point release, OpenELEC 8.0.2, and it brings all the recently released technologies, including the Linux 4.9.25 LTS kernel for both generic and Raspberry Pi builds, Mesa 17.0.5 3D Graphics Library, Samba 4.6.3, MariaDB 10.1.22, connman 1.34, and libsndfile 1.0.28. As usual, bug fixes are all over this new maintenance release of the OpenELEC 8.0 series, addressing a Kodi crash that occurred when attempting to play streams, some installer issues, various problems with the libcec library, the broken screensavers, and issues with external HDDs on Raspberry Pi builds.
