Hyperion.NG release soon?

I got curious, so I complied it myself a few moths ago. Been using it ever since. It's a fairly simple task when paired with a good set of instructions (https://github.com/hyperion-pr…ob/master/CompileHowto.md).

And it works well!

Hope it helps.

The development of Hyperion relies currently (past ~4 months) mostly on me. I do my best, but this isn't enough. Recently i decided to overhaul the messy code a last time because of nasty bugs and bad internal API's for future expansion. But also to match better the users needs.

Most notable but not limited to (which is currently NOT in the repository)

• Hyperion is a "start once with config and restart if you want to change options" -> No go -> Moved to dynamic apply application wide
• Database instead config files
• Multi instances within the same process (this depends on 1 and 2)
• A second network discovery option (UPnP) to search for Hyperion (address/port) (Very fast and simple to implement on client side)
• Plugin API to write little extension to build bridges between simple tasks / services. Along with a repository to browse through
• Password protection/ token based authorization, deny network clients with external (internet) ip address to access the API
• All API's documented in detail with examples (This is indeed a feature!)

The problem is that a lot of stuff has been poorly coded (also in the .ng era) and a lot of led devcice have no error handling, they crash Hyperion simply to death if there is something wrong (Which is one of the hughest issue - as my testing coverage is very limited - so i can just interpret the code if it may crash)
Platform capture is also a hugher topic, escpecially when it comes to more security (running Hyperion as non-root)

The contributor problem:
Hyperion isn't very community driven on core code side, people usually hack together there solutions with some scripts. (So instead implementing things into Hyperion they are worked around, which is no solution on the long run if you ask me)
I don't know where the declination comes from against implementing it the right way escpecially as Hyperion has more than just a few users.
