Appium 2.0 - State of the Union
summary
Appium 2.0 restructures Appium into an independent driver ecosystem (drivers live in their own repos and use separate versioning) plus a plugin system for extensibility; install the beta via npm install appium@next and add drivers with appium driver install. Server now requires W3C-prefixed Appium capabilities, Appium Desktop splits into server and appium-inspector web app, and 1.x server feature work stops while drivers get six months of critical fixes. A TypeScript plugin integrating AltUnityTester for Unity game automation exists as early R&D and runs, but is not production ready.
