## [2.0.0-alpha.10](https://github.com/hyperion-project/hyperion.ng/releases/tag/2.0.0-alpha.10) - 2021-07-17

The focus of this release is on user experience.
We tried as much as possible supporting you in getting valid setup done, as well as providing enough room for expert users to tweak configurations here and there.
The reworked dashboard provides you now with the ability to control individual components, jump to key configuration items, as well as to switch between LED instances easily.
The refined color coding in the user-interfaces, helps you to quickly identify instance specific and global configuration items.

Of course, the release brings new features (e.g. USB Capture on Windows), as well as minor enhancements and a good number of fixes.

Note: 

- **IMPORTANT:** Due to the rework of the grabbers, both screen- and video grabbers are disabled after the upgrade to the new version.
Please, re-enable the grabber of choice via the UI, validate the configuration and save the setup. The grabber should the restart.

- Hyperion packages can now be installed under Ubuntu (x64) and Debian (amd64/armhf) (incl. Raspberry Pi OS) via our own APT server. 
Details about the installation can be found in the [installation.md](https://github.com/hyperion-project/hyperion.ng/blob/master/Installation.md) and at [apt.hyperion-project.org](apt.hyperion-project.org).
- Find here more details on [supported platforms and configuration sets](https://github.com/hyperion-project/hyperion.ng/blob/master/doc/development/SupportedPlatforms.md)
