About LibreELEC
LibreELEC's changelog stops dead at the 12.0 release in May 2024
The only entries available cover the LibreELEC 12 cycle — two betas and the 12.0.0 release — and the most recent of them is from May 2024. Their content is what a distribution release looks like: kernel bumps to 6.6, Mesa updates, Kodi moving through its Omega release candidates, wireless driver refreshes, and addon packaging work including a Podman addon. Nothing after 12.0.0 appears in the feed at all.
