Last of Kodi Leia 18.8

[andkaal]

Kodi the other day released it final Leia series of Kodi 18.8. They say that it is the last one before the new Matrix 19.0. Some experts say if you have no problems with what you have, keep what you got. Very little changes that some will not see. It is the final release and usually the best one. I'm staying put. Just letting you know. andkaal
