The XBMC crew hasn't been distracted by its early work on [XBMC 13 Gotham](http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/15/xbmc-team-starts-work-on-version-13-gotham-breaks-down-new-up/) -- it's more than willing to share the love with those who are still busy with [Frodo's adventures](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/29/xbmc-12-frodo-launches-in-finished-form-with-android-support/). A just-launched XBMC 12.1 update improves the experience in several ways on Apple platforms, rolling up [iOS 6 support](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/22/xbmc-apple-tv-software-update-5-2-ios-6-1/) for second-generation [Apple TV](http://www.engadget.com/tag/AppleTV/) boxes, making full use of the [iPhone 5's](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/18/apple-iphone-5-review/) expanded screen and bringing support in OS X for both the default audio device and playback acceleration from Intel GPUs. There's a number of upgrades elsewhere as well: XBMC no longer monopolizes audio in Linux, runs more reliably on the [Raspberry Pi](http://www.engadget.com/tag/RaspberryPi/) and supports more Xbox 360 controllers and HDMI-CEC devices. Android has received an audio control tweak of its own and the software is available in seven new languages We'd say 12.1 is a near-automatic download if XBMC is the cornerstone of your living room, hit the source to find out everything new that awaits, or check out the Github link.
