OpenELEC 4.0 Beta 1 發布，基于Linux的嵌入式操作系統

OpenELEC是基于Linux創建的嵌入式操作系統，其專用目的在于運行XBMC，而這是開放源碼的娛樂媒體中心。OpenELEC的理念是讓人們在使用他們的家庭影院個人電腦（HTPC）時，就像使用任何其它連接到電視機的設備一樣，比如DVD播放器或者Sky box。OpenELEC并不需要人們去維護一套完整的操作系統、進行系統設置并安裝軟件包以成為一套綜合多媒體中心；它被設計為易于安裝、管理和使用，從而使用它更像運行一臺機頂盒而不是一部功能完善的計算機。

Stephan Raue has announced the availability of the first beta release of OpenELEC 4.0, an upcoming major update to the project's multimedia distribution featuring the XBMC entertainment media hub: " The OpenELEC team is proud to announce its first beta of OpenELEC 4.0. The team has made a huge effort to make this one of our best releases yet. Since the OpenELEC ' and 3.2.x releases, we have worked hard to improve OpenELEC in a number of areas. Some of these are visible changes, others are backend changes that aren't as visible to every user but are certainly worth mentioning. Since OpenELEC 3.2 the underlying OS and the build system have been completely reworked. One aspect of the builds that isn't visible to most users is the buildsystem; it is one of the most fundamental building blocks for OpenELEC. It provides us the flexibility to support many different build platforms." Read the release announcement for a list of core components and information about bug reporting.
