There are 3 versions and each adds more features/changes and that doesent mean bigger is better just different.
what was added:
- 2 hooks for the boot process
/flash/post-flash.sh (if exist) after flash mount
/flash/mount-storage.sh (if exist) you can do /storage mount instead of the normal way
- kernel config for cryptsetuponly for Generic/RPi/RPi2/Wetek_Play
- package cryptsetup
- package fscryptctl
- kernel commandline parsing for ramlimit to get SYSTEM loadad to RAM on RPi2 with "ramlimit=680000" in /flash/cmdline.txt
- for coffee lake many software updates are needed (see below)
some of the cryptsetup, lvm2 and kernel config was taken from LE 8 Remix git and slightly changed.

Sometimes I saw the upper left part of Kodi very very very big in a blue-ish, pink-ish and purple-ish color scheme... but not all the time the system was running.
