According to official announcement, OpenELEC 4.2 Beta 5 comes with minor bug fixes, security fixes and few improvements since OpenELEC 4.1.4 distro release. Apart from regular bug fixes, this release includes updated XBMC 13.2 "Gotham" final version along with FFmpeg 2.3.3, Mesa 10.3-RC1 and systemd 216.

The team also fixes crashes while playing FLAC files with ID3v2 tags, optimized some software packages and updated the RaspberryPi firmware to include the last fixes and features. The Raspberry Pi users will find a new MMC/SDCard driver which is available as default in this release. Also, review recent Linux Distro News to know what's new in them ?

The MMC/SDCard driver is now default sdcard driver.
