Another two weeks have passed and we are pleased to present Home Assistant 0.32.

### {% linkable_title Hacktoberfest %}
The [Hacktoberfest] is over now. Home Assistant made the 2nd and the 3rd place out of almost 30'000 participating repositories with a total of 528 pull requests closed - that's an average of 17 pull requests a day! Thanks to all the contributors but also to the team of reviewers. This wouldn't been possible without you 👏 .

### {% linkable_title Improved error reporting %}
This release has improved the reporting when a config validation error occurs. Thanks to [@kellerza] you will now get a persistent notification added to your UI when this happens.

### {% linkable_title Asynchronous %}
This release contains the first asynchronous sensor and camera platforms. [@pvizeli] and [@fabaff] ported most of the "internal" sensors to async programming. We hope that you will enjoy the new speed. 

[@balloob] and [@pvizeli] worked a lot on the improvement of the core itself.

### {% linkable_title Weather component %}

For a long time we have had a bunch of [weather sensors][weather-sensors] but it's getting better: There is now a [Weather component][weather-component]. Sorry, not much more to tell right now. The plans are to create a weather UI element and to improve the initial implementation.
