OpenELEC is an embedded distribution of Kodi (XBMC) designed for home theatre PCs and they have just released beta 3 of OpenELEC 5.0. OpenELEC 5 uses Kodi (renamed from XBMC) and beta 3 includes the latest build of Kodi (see my post from yesterday for details). It also has an updated Linux kernel and updated drivers.
