          Kodi 16.1 is now available for installation/update in RetroPie, through the Experimental Menu.

          This is a minor update, so pretty much only bug fixes. Here is the official announcement/changelog:
          https://kodi.tv/kodi-16-1-jarvis-mark-xvi

          Besides this, here is some of the most important changes to this RetroPie version:

          • Out-of-the-box support also for XBOX 360 controllers, which use the xboxdrv.
          • Fix for possible ocassional frame skipping when some input devices are connected like, IR devices and Joysticks.
          • Fix screen resolution when exiting Kodi to ES, when global system resolution (in config.txt) is different from Kodi's.
          • Fix LIRC devices

          Also new to RetroPie is the ARMv7 optimized version, for Raspberry Pi 2 and 3 users, but the corresponding repo should be added later in the script by Jools
          @BuZz, check your mail ;)

          Enjoy.
