We've been very busy behind the scenes and we're now happy to announce the availability of Kodi v21 (codename Omega) for all OSMC supported devices. All devices supported by OSMC on Kodi v20 remain supported for Kodi v21.

To ensure that this was a stable release and that the user experience stays at the highest level you would expect from OSMC, we waited until the first point release of Kodi v21 before making a release.

Kodi v21.1

Kodi v21.1 (Omega) is now available as standard on OSMC, and release details for Kodi v21.0 can be found here.

On the OSMC side, we've made a number of changes to keep things running smoothly:
