### Introducing Autobase 2.5 — Expert Mode brings advanced configuration right into the UI. 

With the release of Autobase version 2.0, we introduced the Console (UI) — a graphical interface that simplifies cluster deployment. Now, we’re adding Expert Mode, which unlocks advanced UI options tailored for experienced users who need greater control and flexibility.

## What's new

See the full list of changes in the [release notes](https://github.com/vitabaks/autobase/releases/tag/2.5.0)
