0.2.0

This is the initial open beta release for AlfredoConnect for Windows.

AlfredoConnect is a simple and responsive driver station built to send keyboard and gamepad state to any device connected to your computer over serial, including over USB or Bluetooth. Feedback sent back over serial is displayed live in the application. Users are prompted to auto-update to the latest release version on opening the application.

To receive input from AlfredoConnect on an ESP32 or Uno, check out the AlfredoConnect-Receive library.

To install AlfredoConnect on Windows, download the attached AlfredoConnect-setup-0.2.0.exe.
