OSMC’s June update is here

By July 2, 2017Uncategorized

Recently, we celebrated two years of stable OSMC. Today, we’re happy to release OSMC’s slightly belated June update. It comes with a variety of improvements and fixes. Debian Stretch (9.0) has now been released and we are preparing OSMC for this.

A few days ago, we announced an import security fix for all versions of OSMC.

Here’s what’s new:

Miscellaneous

  • Add BBR congestion algorithm support for Raspberry Pi
