2.0.0-milestone.1

[laxika]

The speed of releases slowed down recently. This is unfortunate, and there are a few logical reasons for it:

• The application is mature and works well. Only small improvements are missing, but the core features are already there.
• The scope of this release is rather big and the complexity of the existing applications is quite big as well.
• We are working on improving the testing of the application. It doesn't add any new features but is necessary for further feature development.
• My son was born a year ago, and he just started walking in the past 6 months, adding a lot more headaches to my day and lowering the amount of free time I have quite significantly. :)

The documentation for this release is available here.

Features

• Create the Beacon Application #463 Created the Beacon Application. It is helpful when the majority of the bandwidth usage should be done off-site. The documentation for this application is not yet available but will be added once 2.0.0 is released. Until then, you can ask the developers on Discord or in the Discussions.
