OpenELEC (Milhouse) - Version: devel-20140727205930-r18859-gee8a220

• Includes newclock3 patches
  
• Excludes the OpenELEC fernetmenta patches due to conflicts with newclock3
  
• Excludes the OpenELEC linux-01-RPi_support patch in favour of sourcing these and possibly more recent patches directly from kernel branch rpi-3.15.y
  
• Excludes the OpenELEC xbmc-001-newclock3 patch in favour of sourcing these and possibly more recent patches directly from newclock3 branch
  
• Default setting for "Show RSS Feed" changed to disabled

• Includes latest libnfs master
  
• Includes latest libcec master
  
• Includes libcec double-key suppression.
  
• Includes libcec CEC Standby Fix.
  
• Increase scan interval of PeripBusCEC from 5000 to 60000, reducing CPU loading by about 2% (1GHz Pi) every 5 seconds (even when CEC is "disabled")
  
• Includes CONFIG_COREDUMP=y to allow creation of coredumps
  
• Includes PR4990: Allow larger font size
  

Build Highlights:

1. First build of what will be OpenELEC 5.0.
   
2. zram support will be dropped in the next build due to lack of interest (OpenELEC PR has not been raised).
