Kodi 16 (Jarvis) has been been released: https://kodi.tv/kodi-16-0-jarvis-mark-xvi/ It seems that bug 559350 is probably blocking bumping to version.
Please don't 0-day version bump. Chances are the developer is aware of the bump and will get to it shortly. When you 0-day version bump, you are likely only burdening the maintainer with bugs.
