Posted by Michael Larabel on March 24, 2012

XBMC, the very well known open-source multimedia / HTPC project, has finally reached its XBMC 11.0 (codenamed "Eden") milestone.

XBMC 11.0 Eden was in development for more than a year and includes improvements to its default skin, massive performance improvements (features like dirty-region rendering), a new JPEG decoder, a better library, greater protocol handling, improved networking, better support for unencrypted BLuRay content, Apple AIrPlay support, and much more.

Find out more about XBMC 11.0 from the blog announcement or the summarized change-log. XBMC 11 continues to be available for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X platforms.

Meanwhile, MythTV 0.25 will be out next month and it features many changes for this long overdue release.
