Ondersteuning voor Windows XP is komen te vervallen. De release notes voor bèta 4 zien er als volgt uit:
XBMC 13.0 Gotham – Beta 4
With Beta 4 we are only looking at bug fixing rather than features. Further down we will list several of the more important fixes that have been added since last beta. Hopefully Beta 4 will be the last one, before we will enter Release Candidate stage. This means final release is nearing.
