Yes, I had been building Kodi 18 alpha 1 with a number of "personal" patches/commits that bumped the version and applied the various changes since Kodi 17.
All that has changed is that I've pushed a PR (
PR:1186) to LibreELEC master based on the original commits and I've now started using the PR instead of the individual commits (I tend to do this while stuff is a work in progress and/or not yet ready for LE master - sometimes easier than pushing an unfinished PR to github).
Now that the old commits have been replaced by the PR, my scripts report the PR as a "new" commit when in reality it is just replacing the old personal patch.
And when PR:1186 is finally merged it will be reported again as a new LibreELEC change, even though it would have been in these builds for ages (once it merges in LibreELEC master I no longer need to continue including the now merged PR in my build).

Nope - not invented by me. The alpha 1 tag has been there since Kodi 17 branched and master became Kodi 18 alpha 1.
