Nope, we bump version whenever new stuff is added (as if you use the new stuff, you rely on it being there).

We bump backcompat if something new causes old skins to not work any longer.

You don't have to do anything unless we do number 2 (or you want to support something new that's added).

2012-05-01 New built-in control

a new radiobutton with id="7" has been added to the addon browser (AddonBrowser.xml)

this allows the user the filter out any addons which provide language specific content
that doesn't match the language selected up by the user.

2012-05-01 Added Library.HasContent(MovieSets)

git commit: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/d38a...517283ef4f

Note that I'll schedule a xbmc.gui bump for these changes once the May merge window closes (no point doing a whole heap).

2012-06-01 Change of system.platform.osx behaviour

This changes the behaviour of the condition system.platform.osx.

Before it was true whenever it was one of ios or osx. Now its only true on osx anymore. For getting the old behaviour system.platform.darwin has to be used after this PR.

So basically we have:

system.platform.darwin - true on ios and osx
system.platform.osx - true on osx
system.platform.ios - true on ios

heh ronie is too quick for me I was just about to post this I actually think xbmc.gui is due for a version bump as well so setting your skin to the next version we make it "should" stop older xbmc from running versions that need this (not good for the eden repo obviously)

Also please not this will be case sensitive on everything but windows if you use it in the way the forum posts says so you will need to name your files or folders in uppercase like SKINDEFAULT because thats how it gets stored in guisettings.xml and is used internally
PHP Code:
<lookandfeel>
        <enablerssfeeds>false</enablerssfeeds>
        <font>Default</font>
        <rssedit></rssedit>
        <skin>skin.confluence</skin>
        <skincolors>SKINDEFAULT.xml</skincolors>
        <skintheme>SKINDEFAULT</skintheme>
        <skinzoom>0</skinzoom>
        <soundskin>SKINDEFAULT</soundskin>
        <startupwindow>10000</startupwindow>
    </lookandfeel> 
Skins I have done....
