v2.6.2 - 2022.05.08

Important: If you're updating from a clean v2.6.0 using the integrated script please read this issue: #155.

SEPIA-Home v2.6.2 improves many of the existing and new features of v2.6.1, fixes a lot of smaller issues and introduces a new automatic setup (with YAML config) and external data folder to better support Docker containers. Here are some other highlights:

The remote media control feature has been enhanced to support volume adjustment and the client will remember this setting after a restart. In addition the volume control will now work for the Youtube widget as well 📻 🎶.

Teach-UI commands and app settings can now be exported as JSON files and imported via drag & drop (or file select) 🗄️ 🤓 .

The news region can now be defined independently from the app language and news outlets can be configured per language + region (news-outlets.json). NLU supports "show me news in German" etc. as well 📰 👀.

There is a very nice new avatar + new skins 🤖 🎨 🙂 and Porcupine wake-words have been updated to v2.1 (if you have a custom 2.0 ww use the included download scripts).

As usual the release has a lot more to discover, so check-out the extended release notes or the "shorter" version below! Hope you enjoy the update ✌️ 😃.
