# ⚡️ [1.0 Beta Release](https://github.com/checktheroads/hyperglass/tree/v1.0.0)
I've been hard at work on a revamp of hyperglass since its initial release in June 2019, and I'm pleased to make version 1.0.0 available for beta testing. While I feel v1.0.0 is actually _more_ stable than the original release here in the master branch, I have not had time to complete a few lingering UI features, documentation, screenshots, an updated demo site, contributor guidelines, and testing.
**I invite any current or new users of hyperglass to try out the [1.0 beta release](https://github.com/checktheroads/hyperglass/tree/v1.0.0) or look over the [documentation](https://hyperglass.io), and let me know of any issues to address prior to merging it to the master branch.**
hyperglass is a modern network looking glass application. A looking glass is typically implemented by network service providers as a way of providing customers, peers, and partners with a way to easily view elements of, or run tests from the provider's network.

*However, the hyperglass demo does cost [@checktheroads](https://github.com/checktheroads) about $15/month for 3 Digital Ocean droplets, and $60/year for the [hyperglass.io](https://hyperglass.io) domain. If you're feeling particularly helpful and want to help offset that cost, small donations are welcome.*
