Neon is in extreme alpha stage for Kodi v14 'Helix' and should not be expected to work properly at this point in time!

Patches / pull requests are more than welcome.

What needs to be done ?
The development github branch is located here: https://github.com/kib/skin.neon/tree/Helix
A list of all the required changes can be found in the Changes to the skinning engine for XBMC Helix
Once in a while I'll cherrypick changes done to the Gotham branch into the Helix branch.

Version numbering:
The current version number for the Helix branch is currently set at 3.9.0.
The idea is to only update the version number a few times before finishing implementing all the Helix changes, and to then submit the skin to the Helix repository with version number 4.0.0 so we keep a main version number which is going in line with the XBMC versions.

Neon does not have a ready-to-use version for Kodi yet - it's still in the development stages, but at the moment it looks like it's not moving unfortunately.

Is it possible somehow to make a version for Kodi available were only the mayor problems (the most importand Menus) are fixed? A big thank you in advance!

[Kib]

Some changes were implemented recently. If others would like to contribute this would be appreciated

Pull request submitted here: https://github.com/kib/skin.neon/pull/70

• Update Trasifex translations - actually re-add them, they seem to have gotten dropped
  
• Rebrand for Kodi
  
• Fix Context Menu Dialog
  
• Fix edit controls
  
• Fix keyboard controls
  

The upper-casing of capital characters has been fixed in Helix:



And looks like Kib got to it before I finished this post....

I didn't review the changes

Your track record is more than good enough.
I will bump a first helix test version and make a zip available here, probably today.

I think I've got the main PVR stuff sorted, though I know there are issues with the PVR dialogs still. I'm on vacation this weekend, but I'll take a look when I get back.

Submitted to official repo today as 4.0.0

Just tried Neon from the github zip (little buggy), just wanted to say it's really great, really like the simplicity of it. Can't wait for it to be approuved on official repo.
By the way, if you need help for Fr translation i'll be glad to help.

[Bumpaneer]

Can you detail out what is buggy?
