CyanogenMod team has released the latest Snapshot build of CyanogenMod 11.0 release (based on KitKat) for over 50 devices. Available via CM’s community distribution portal and CM updater, the M5 build brings host of changes from M4 build.

Here is the full change-log

• Translations: Initial imports from CrowdIn (followup blog post next week)
• MultiSim: Additional support patches (25+)
• Stylus: Fix eraser being disabled by palm rejection

• Dialer: Open Source forward/backward/incoming look-up
• Settings: Add ‘screen color’ support
• Privacy Guard: Additional AppOps permissions
• Additional Right-to-left (RTL) layout mirroring support
• Quickboot support (device specific)

With five Snapshots builds out, we expect to start seeing release candidate (RC) builds soon, which will be followed by the final stable build of CM 11.
