OpenELEC 4.0 Beta 1 发布，基于Linux的嵌入式操作系统

OpenELEC是基于Linux创建的嵌入式操作系统，其专用目的在于运行XBMC，而这是开放源码的娱乐媒体中心。OpenELEC的理念是让人们在使用他们的家庭影院个人电脑（HTPC）时，就像使用任何其它连接到电视机的设备一样，比如DVD播放器或者Sky box。OpenELEC并不需要人们去维护一套完整的操作系统、进行系统设置并安装软件包以成为一套综合多媒体中心；它被设计为易于安装、管理和使用，从而使用它更像运行一台机顶盒而不是一部功能完善的计算机。

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.
