Announcing Kodi 19 support, Python 3, and more!

Please make sure you are either upgrading from version 0.4.1, or restart Kodi after upgrading to 0.5.0. There are some incompatibilities with new libraries that can't be resolved at runtime and require either the previous version or a restart to initialize properly.

Highlights

Kodi 19 support

Significantly faster sync speed

Less noisy logs

Overview

Kodi 19 (code named ‘Matrix’) is right around the corner and we're ready for its arrival. Matrix is currently in a pre-release state and alpha releases are available in Team Kodi's nightly download repo. This is a big release in that Matrix introduces Python 3 support into the Kodi addon ecosystem.

Other exciting news is that we have some significant speed increases within the addon, particularly surrounding the initial library sync. In some cases we're seeing sync times well below half of their previous values. This is largely due to new contributor druscoe, so there's some well deserved shout outs there.
