![]() ![]() General Availability - A version of Arctic Zephyr: From Ashes which has been released on the mainstream version of Kodi and is in of itself considered a mainstream release of Arctic Zephyr: From Ashes. ![]() The previous branch version of Arctic Zephyr: From Ashes at this point enters the "Long Term Support" stage of the lifecycle. The first Preview Availability release occurs when there is a "snapshot" version of Kodi that's considered an "Alpha" and not a "nightly" release. Preview Availability - A version of Arctic Zephyr: From Ashes which is a "technical preview." It's an early experimental version that evolves over time to what will eventually be the General Availability Release.Although the Lifecycle Policy page isn't published yet it actually goes a little something like this: That's why there are certain things that were supposed to be in Danvers (a new layout) that didn't make the cut - so we can provide users like you the best experience. We already have a plan for Kodi 18 and Danvers has laid the ground work for it. They may share a name but a lot has changed. Basically, supporting Dormer and Danvers simultaneously is like supporting Windows 98 and Windows 10 at the same time. Danvers and as a result of that, For Another Age, are essentially completely different frameworks from Dormer. While you may not see it, countless hours have been spent on cleaning up and "modularizing" the code so that updates are simpler. Danvers and For Another Age are totally different. Actually, that's how the From Ashes project started. Dormer is at its core still very much AZ:E with the tweaks needed to get it running on Jarvis. However, there is something you have to understand between Dormer and Danvers or even For Another Age (the successor to Danvers). However, our intention was to simply iterate to people that "we understand some of you can't or don't want to update yet but here's what you need to know." Obviously, that didn't go too smoothly which does happen. I know that doesn't help you and I realize that as I type this post it sounds more and more like Microsoft when they tried to justify the "GWX" app ("Get Windows 10" app that perpetually stayed on Windows 7). They are going to be fixed but they are going to be fixed in a Danvers release on Krypton. The bottom bar icons are unfortunately not among the fixes for Dormer's final release because it would take too much time to fix. ![]() An update, the "Dormer Last Call Update" is supposed to be released today/tomorrow (depending on time zones) to address issues that arose recently with the branch. We didn't actually mean to break the latest Dormer release when the notification was added in but sometimes adding the simplest of things can have unexpected consequences and Dormer isn't really tested much beyond a Raspberry Pi anymore because of the focus on Krypton and the Danvers release. You are quite correct, when Danvers reached Alpha 9 we started pretty much ignoring Dormer and this was perhaps subconsciously intentional. I like the honesty in your post It is refreshing to see remarks of how specific users feel. → download → LibreELEC (Jarvis) v7.0.I do want to thank you for your continued work on this skin, I can't even begin to imagine the amount of hours your putting into this. But please think about your users that are not upgrading to beta release of software the moment they are released!
