Summary:

HACS 2.0: A Major Update to the Home Assistant Community Store

• HACS 2.0, the latest version of the Home Assistant Community Store, brings significant improvements, including an easier installation method, faster updates, a revamped user interface, and improved notifications for Home Assistant updates and repairs.

• HACS serves as a platform for users to discover, install, and update community-created integrations and user interface elements, enhancing the functionality and customization of Home Assistant.

• The new version introduces a user interface that closely resembles the native look and functionality of Home Assistant, providing a consistent and intuitive experience.

• To enhance performance, HACS now utilizes a remote dataset stored in Cloudflare R2 buckets, reducing the number of API calls to GitHub and resulting in significantly faster updates.

• System and add-on updates are now displayed in the same format as native Home Assistant updates, eliminating the need to visit the HACS page for updates.

• HACS 2.0 introduces Template management, leveraging the new template type to improve Jinja templates.

• While HACS offers a wide range of community-made integrations, cards, themes, and more, it is important to note that these are not officially supported by Home Assistant and may affect system stability.
