New AML release 1.0.0

AML 1.0.0 is a Python 3 version of the addon intended for Kodi Matrix. Feature-wise this version is identical to the Python 2 0.10.0 release. Kodi Matrix is now in beta stage and it is likely the final version will be released in January 2021. Enjoy!

Upgrading AML from a previous release

1) Download AML from the Kodi addon repository. AML is under the categories Program add-ons and Game add-ons, Game providers. It is likely that Kodi will download the latest release of the addon automatically.

2) Before generating the database and scanning your assets, go to Utilities and select Check AML configuration. Make sure every feature you want is OK and green, otherwise check the AML addon settings because some settings may have changed.

3) Open the context menu in any root window row, select Setup Plugin and then All in one (Extract, Build, Scan, Filters). This will extract MAME XML, rebuild all the databases, rescan ZIPs/CHDs/assets, and rebuild the custom filters.

4) In the root window, go to Utilities and select Check/Update all Favourite objects. This will bring your MAME Favourites, MAME Most Played, etc. up to date with the last version of the database. After this step completes AML is ready for use and totally updated.

5) If AML crashes after an upgrade it is very likely that the databases are not up to date. Make sure you execute steps 2) to 4) before submitting a bug report.
