XBMC announced a soft-freeze which means no more adding new features to the next version of Eden. A beta 1 release will follow soon.
On the website also a list with new features is mentioned. Here the list:
- A new “Files” view in the video library in order to remove the notion of Library Mode vs. Files Mode that confused so many new users.
- The default skin changed to a horizontal layout allowing for more useful information to be displayed on the home screen (vertical version is still available in Add-ons)
- Efficiency improvements to reduce high cpu/gpu usage
- Much improved touchscreen support to go along with the first major versioned XBMC release for the iOS (iPad, iPhone, AppleTv2)
- Ability to customize the home screen by adding your favorite Add-ons
- The usual smattering of visual improvements, playback improvements, new ways to stream and discover media.. the list goes on.

“Efficiency improvements to reduce high cpu/gpu usage” – good news for Atom 330!
Helaas geen audio-engine, het belangrijkste punt op de eden roadmap.
Inderdaad. Dat houdt dus in:
* Nog steeds geen fatsoenlijke detectie van HD audio formaten (en dus geen fatsoenlijke detectie wanneer inhoud gewoon ge-bitstreamed moet worden)
* Nog steeds geen goede afhandeling/instelbaarheid van wat pass through naar je homecinema receiver mag en wat door XBMC gedecodeerd moet worden.
