+ 0.48: Snips.ai, Shiftr.io and a massive History query speed up
+ +
It’s time for a great new release!
+We’ve started the process of upgrading our frontend technology. If you notice something not working that did work before, please open an issue.
+Pascal has added a new option to Home Assistant core to set a list of whitelisted folders that Home Assistant can read from. When a component allows to send files (like Telegram), it will only be allowed to send files from those directories. The only default whitelisted folder is the public <config>/www directory.
Z-Wave will, as announced in the last release, be defaulting to generate the new entity ids. More info in the blog post. You can still opt-in for the old style.
+zwave:
+ new_entity_ids: false
+Big speed up in querying the history
+Thanks to the work by @cmsimike in #8255 you’ll see a significant speed up when using the history view. In his local tests queries went from 1 minute to 90ms! ⚡️
+Snips.ai component
+Snips has contributed a component to integrate with their Snips.ai local voice assistant. This will allow you to hook a speaker and a microphone into your Raspberry Pi and make your own local Amazon Echo quickly. See the docs for further instructions.
+Also a shoutout to @michaelarnauts for keeping an eye on our Docker build and once again reducing the file size 👍

-Oooh yeah. It's time for 0.43 and this is going to be a killer release. For the people that have been following on social media, you might have noticed that [we got pretty excited about the new IKEA Trådfri line up][ikea-blog]. And so we are very happy to announce that thanks to the work by [@ggravlingen], [@MartinHjelmare] and myself that this will be the first release to support the IKEA light bulbs. Home Assistant will automatically detect the gateway on your network and after following the instructions, allow you to control your lights.

-After automatic discovery, Home Assistant will ask the user to finish pairing with the gateway.
