OpenELEC 3.1.6 (Unstable) 发布，基于Linux创建的嵌入式操作系统

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。

Open Embedded Linux Entertainment Center ( OpenELEC) is a small Linux distribution built from scratch as a platform to turn a computer into an XBMC media center, which is an open source entertainment media hub. OpenELEC 3.1.6 has been released following the new versioning scheme:

" The OpenELEC-3.1 release series are test releases (beta) for OpenELEC-3.2. OpenELEC-3.2 will be the next stable release, which is a feature release and the successor of OpenELEC-3.0. This release has some bugfixes and speed improvements. Besides the usual bugfixes and package updates we also added some more backports from XBMC Gotham for Raspberry Pi. We also included patches for: speedup fanart and thumbnails loading, network caching, GUI optimizations, avahi/zeroconf bugfixes and improvements, samba bugfixes and improvements."
