Based on tip of OpenELEC master (2d9c62ba, changelog) and tip of XBMC master (f78c550a, changelog) with the following modifications:

• Includes newclock4 patches
  
• Excludes the OpenELEC fernetmenta patches due to conflicts with newclock4
  
• Excludes the OpenELEC linux-01-RPi_support patch in favour of sourcing these and possibly more recent patches directly from kernel branch rpi-3.16.y
  
• Excludes the OpenELEC xbmc-001-newclock3 patch in favour of sourcing these and possibly more recent patches directly from newclock4 branch
  
• Default setting for "Show RSS Feed" changed to disabled
  
• Disabled "Total Duration" in Confluence (see build #0221 for details)
  
• Adapted service.openelec.settings to take advantage of PR5217
  
• Includes latest libnfs master (5fe97d10)
  
• Includes latest libcec master (81e38211)
  
• Includes libcec double-key suppression.
  
• 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 (see here)
  
• Includes PR5222: videodb: Add column name on GROUP query otherwise sub query returns no rows
  
• Includes PR5237: [WIP][3D] add support for stereomode switches in video playlist
  
• Includes PR5247: StringUtils: optimize Split(), new overloads for Split() and Tokenize()
  
• Includes PR5307: [UX] Play button/action should not pause
  
• Includes PR5312: dvdplayer: do a seek after having changed subtitle stream
  
• Includes PR5324: Add setting to hide library clean progress bar.
  

Build Highlights:

1. PR5324 is added which should hide GUI updates during JSON initiated library cleans and scans (although GUI updates can be enabled with the addition of a JSON parameter, "showgui"). Scans and cleans initiated from the GUI should always show the usual dialogs and progress indicators (unless hidden during scans with "Hide Library Updates"). Please post details if you observe any unusual GUI/dialog behaviour during scans/cleans.
