Okay its final, found a reply by Darren and Dave, thx Trogggy in another post.
Well final for some platforms.
Okay if this has been answered, somewhere else i am unable to find the post.
But has 17 gone “final”, because all i see on front page is
Latest Release: Kodi 17.0 “Krypton”
Release Date: 1 February 2017
Announcement: To be made
And 16.1 has been moved to older release,
But i see no official Announcement, only info i see is from Martijn, Jan 27
Kodi v17.0 “Krypton” Release Candidate 4
Posted By: Martijn Kaijser on Jan 27, 2017 in Pre-Release
But i see people bitching about this and that, in almost every sub-forum.
Its been awhile since my last visit, so have not been following progress on 17.
So excuse my ignorance, as to the state 17 is currently at, normally Martijn is fast with the Announcement.
But 17 r4 has no comments for some reason, so is 17 “final”.
And Announcement: To be made Feb 1, is very “Kryptic” 
Thank you, for reading my post.
