We already have available for download the official version Kodi 21 Omega Final. With it, version 20 Nexus is left behind and a new development begins.
As we can see the Kodi 21 Omega Final version has few changes in terms of use and design, it seems to be a rather continuist version in this aspect. In any case we have versions available for Windows in 32 and 64bit compilations as well as the compilations for Android in ARM V7A format of greater compatibility and ARM V8A for Shield TV or similar. In the coming weeks this version will evolve and we will inform you about its new features.

Changelog
FFmpeg 6
Kodi relies significantly on FFmpeg to do a lot of heavy lifting for us. Many developers have contributed to upgrading the project to make use the the newer FFmpeg releases over the past 15 months, initially starting with targeting FFmpeg 5, but later updating to FFmpeg 6. We are always greatly appreciative of the work of all of the Open Source software projects that we rely on on our journey to bring you Kodi.
DolbyVision On-the-Fly Profile Conversion
For our Android users, a fantastic contribution from quietvoid allows users to convert some less-well supported DV profile types to more well-supported profiles.
macOS Now Uses “Native” Windowing
Another change that has been years in the making. This was started by some amazing developers many years ago, and we have now been able to finally remove the last remnants of SDL library usage in Kodi. We now use native implementations for window displays on the Apple macOS platform.
A New Platform: webOS
A new platform can now run Kodi natively: a port to LG webOS TVs has been worked out by some amazing developers who have reverse engineered huge amounts of the webOS media pipelines. One of our newest team members, sundermann, has helped shepherd our newest supported platform, to extend the reach of Kodi to even more devices.
In-game Player Viewer
Controller configuration for games gets a little better in v21: a window has been added in-game to view which game port each player’s controller is currently connected to.
Behind the Scenes
A large majority of changes are “under the hood” and invisible to users but improve the stability, performance, and safety of Kodi: API changes have been made to evolve Python and binary add-ons and bring new skinning features; there are updates to Kodi dependencies on most if not all Kodi platforms; fixes from regular use of code static-analysis tools, database migration fixes for a smoother update … and lots more.
There are too many individual changes to detail everything. If you would like to know more, please look back through the Omega Alpha to RC2 release announcements and review the GitHub changelog here.
Time doesn’t stand still, and we have already branched Kodi v22 “P*” for development. Thank you again for your continued support as we continue to make Kodi great!
