OpenELEC (Milhouse) - Version: devel-20140826205357-r19125-gc5dd288 [Build #0826]

Based on tip of OpenELEC master (c5dd2887, changelog) and tip of XBMC master (afdbb56c, changelog) with the following modifications:

• 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-3.16.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
  
• Disabled "Total Duration" in Confluence (see build #0221 for details)
  
• Includes latest libnfs master (5fe97d10)
  
• Includes latest libcec master (81e38211)
  
• 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 (see here)
  
• Includes PR5217: [python] add xbmc.abortEvent
  
• 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 PR5244: [UX] keymap fixes - don't overload pause action with something else
  
• Includes PR5245: [UX] consistent playback behavior for music and video
  
• Includes PR5247: StringUtils: optimize Split(), new overloads for Split() and Tokenize()
  

Build Highlights:

1. newclock3-based build.
   
2. Revert "xbmc: link with -fwhole-program" as this caused xbmc.bin to segfault with some addons
   
3. Modified PR5244, mapping <play> button to "PlayPause" (instead of "Play") in system default remote.xml - please post if this causes any undesirable remote control button behaviour
