Kodi Matrix 19.2 ist veröffentlicht
Es ist eine Wartungs-Version und deswegen gibt es auch keine neuen Funktionen. Allerdings ist Kodi 19.1 schon eine Weile auf dem Markt und deswegen gibt es relativ viele Fixes.
Ein Update sollte sich auf jeden Fall lohnen und es ist nicht zu befürchten, dass bestimmte Add-ons und so weiter wegen eines Versionssprungs nicht mehr funktionieren.
Möchtest Du neu installieren, findest Du die aktuelle Version des Multimedia-Centers im Download-Bereich der Projektseite. Dort gibt es Varianten mitunter für Linux, Android, Windows, macOS und auch Raspberry Pi.
Ich bin etwas faul und deswegen hier eine Fast-Kopie des Changelogs:
