We already have available for download the first official version of Kodi 22 Piers Alpha1. This Alpha build may be unstable and it is recommended to use it only for testing.
As we can see if we install the Kodi 22 Piers version, the aesthetic changes are few and it seems a fairly continuous version in general. In any case we have versions available for Windows in 32 and 64bit compilations in addition to the compilations for Android in ARM V7A format of greater compatibility and ARM V8A for Shield TV or similar. In the following months this version will evolve and we will inform you about its new features.
