Software Update: CoreELEC 9.2.7

The developers behind Core Embedded Linux Entertainment Center recently released version 9.2.7. It is still based on the 9.2 code and since a week or two there is also CoreELEC 19.0-Matrix. CoreELEC is a fork of LibreELEC, which in turn arose after a large number of developers left OpenELEC due to disagreements and started their own business. These Linux distributions are based on Kodi and can turn a computer into a full-fledged htpc. CoreELEC focuses specifically on the chips of amlogic. The changelog for this release looks like this:

CoreELEC 9.2.7
