The improvements sound great.

I did not look through the details, but it's strange that one of the features is that Cloudflare R2 will be used to improve download speeds and reduce API calls to Github while at the same time adding a new requirement of adding a personal Github API token.

Hopefully one day the Github requirement will be removed. It would be nice if projects/code stored on Gitlab, Codeberg, or other Git services like Gitea or Forgejo could be used without having to mirror/fork the project onto Github.

Upgraded today. Ui is vastly improved. The breaking changes are minor (for me) and I haven't noticed issues. Great update. Cheers to the devs.

Either they A/B tested this or they accidentally released some of it early because I got all of that new UI stuff a few months ago, complete with addons appearing in the HA updates section. A few days later, just as I'd got used the change, it disappeared!

At least I now know I wasn't going mad.

I have had this for a while, I believe I have enabled experimental features on it.

Yes of course! I enabled experimental features to use a template add-on, but I later removed it and turned the option off.
