Sysctl have been working on a new major release for some time, and with the upcoming release, Impex version 2.0, we have created a new foundation for a number of upcoming minor releases, each with new features.

Most of the changes are made behind the scenes and are not visible to the end-user. The graphic interface has been developed with responsive design to support other types of monitors.

The release will update the end user interface with better progress reporting. The station will still have the easy-to-use interface, but it will be more visible. The status page is brand new, with several tabs to better show the configurations and status of the station.
