+# Network Observability On Demand UI Refactor
+
+The NetObserv 1.10 release introduces a sleek, interactive command-line interface powered by the excellent[tview library](https://github.com/rivo/tview) and one of its extension [tvxwidgets](https://github.com/navidys/tvxwidgets).
+
+These open-source Go packages bring a rich set of UI components such as buttons, dropdowns, popups and tables, all seamlessly integrated into your terminal.

+# Key Capabilities
+
+## Table View Enhancements
+
+The flow and packet capture keeps the same abilities, showing the flow table, cycling between `displays` and `enrichments` and applying `live filters`.
