I'm starting to update the add ons I maintain for Helix. I tend to like and make a clean break from one Kodi version to the next, as it's easier to maintain the add ons. I seem to be having a challenge understanding what versions of some of the internal XBMC stuff I need to use for Helix. When I look at the dependency versions in the wiki, I see this:
http://kodi.wiki/view/Addon.xml#Dependency_versions
But if, for instance, I change xvmc.addon to require version 14.0.0, the Helix beta2 on my mac tells me the addon is incompatible. If I change it back to 13.0.0 it's fine. And on my skin mods I was reverting everything to fix the incompatibilities and changed the xvmc.gui to 5.0.1. Then Helix complained that was incompatible. When I changed it to 5.3.0 it started working fine again. So either I'm losing my mind, the beta doesn't have the versions listed in the wiki, or the wiki is wrong. Even money on the first one.
