    Key Changes in OpenATV 7.6:


    • First OpenATV image with Python 3.13 and OpenSSL 3.4.0.
    • Attention: All closed IPK packages delivered only as PYC/SO files are no longer compatible.
    • It will likely take several weeks/months for developers to provide updated versions of these closed IPKs.
    • Please be patient and do not spam plugin and skin developers with requests – updates will come.
    • The final version of OpenATV 7.6 is expected to be released in summer 2025, provided no major issues arise.
