Mar 1, 2025March 2025 – xbmc/xbmc: Strong build-system modernization and cross‑platform dependency management focused on reliability and performance. Delivered key features: re‑introducing the CEC rule for dependency resolution; Windows build setup enhancements (variable overrides, host tool detection, and WORKSPACE vs BUILDDIR separation) with repository hygiene improvements (Gitignore cleanup); Exiv2 bump to 0.28.5 with BMFF enablement and adjustment to auto-build rules; comprehensive cross‑platform dependency upgrades (libjpeg-turbo, PCRE2, libpng, mariadb-connector, libbdplus, libbluray, Apache-ant); and broad CMake build improvements for dependency checks, Swig path handling, and migration to check_dependency_build. A TagLib linker argument bug fix closes a known build risk. These changes increase build reliability, cross‑platform compatibility, and support faster feature delivery and BMFF readiness.
