<p>A few weeks have past and it is time again for another release: version 0.7.4. This time we&rsquo;re very
glad to be able to introduce brand new integration with OwnTracks to allow tracking of people on a map.
The geo support consists of three different parts:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="/components/device_tracker.owntracks.html">OwnTracks platform for the device tracker</a> to get locations for devices</li>
<li>Brand new <a href="/components/zone.html">zone component</a> to define zones to identify locations and <a href="/components/automation.html#zone-trigger">trigger automation</a></li>
<li>A map in the UI to see all this (<a href="/demo/">see it in action in the demo</a>)</li>
</ul>
<p>We have added a new <a href="/getting-started/presence-detection.html">getting started section</a> to get up and running.</p>
<p class='img'>

<p>Ofcourse more things happened in the last three weeks. I&rsquo;m moving away from my usual long post to a
short summary of highlights:</p>

<p>Wow, almost a month has gone by since the last release and this release is <em>packed</em>. The biggest part of this release is probably one that you won&rsquo;t notice: the frontend has been upgraded from Polymer 0.5 to the brand new released Polymer 1.0. Polymer has been declared stable by the Google overlords which will allow us to expand functionality that was waiting for this moment to arrive.</p>
<p>This release sets a record for the amount of people involved: 8! <a href="https://github.com/Andythigpen">Andythigpen</a>, <a href="https://github.com/Jamespcole">Jamespcole</a>, <a href="https://github.com/Azelphur">Azelphur</a>, <a href="https://github.com/Fabaff">Fabaff</a>, <a href="https://github.com/Dutchy-">Dutchy-</a>, <a href="https://github.com/Fbradyirl">Fbradyirl</a>, <a href="https://github.com/wind-rider">wind-rider</a> and <a href="https://github.com/ettisan">ettisan</a>, thanks a lot for your contributions!</p>
<p>A big improvement has been brought this release by wind-rider. He took the time to revive the Chromecast support and started improving the media player integration. This triggered other people to join in resulting in a revamped media player experience and support for the Music Player Daemon.</p>
