XBMC 12.1 released with lots of fixes including Raspberry Pi optimisation

The XBMC team may be working on the next version (Gotham) but that hasn’t stopped them releasing an update to version 12 of XBMC. Version 12.1 has a lot of fixes and stability patches to XBMC Frodo which add up to make the Frodo 12.1 release very polished.

There are things like support for the iPhone 5 resolution, volume button fixes, player optimisation for the Raspberry Pi, improved CEC support and the support for the Xbox 360 controllers.
