Linux support, UI Redesign, Tabs and more
This is the first public alpha for COMPASS 2.0.0. This is a major rewrite of COMPASS so bugs and instability are to be expected.
As long as COMPASS is in alpha, it does not have feature parity with v1.8.10.
Missing features include barcode scanning and automatic updates.

This is a prerelease version that will replace your existing installation.
