> Homebridge 2.0 Launch
>
> We're launching Homebridge 2.0 on May the 4th and yes, we absolutely planned it that way.
>
> Beyond improvements to the core HAP-NodeJS code and the removal of long deprecated code, the headline addition in 2.0 is the initial groundwork for Matter support alongside our existing HomeKit integration.
>
> A few important things to note on that -- this is early days. Matter support will require updates to individual plugins, and not everything will work out of the box on day one. But our goal is a single platform that supports both HomeKit and Matter, backed by our existing ecosystem of 4000+ plugins. We think that's worth getting excited about.
