<p>Welcome to 0.41. There was a lot going on in the last two weeks. Not only from the code side but also from the social one of Home Assistant. <ahref="https://github.com/balloob">Paulus</a> did an <ahref="https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/03/23/opensourcecraft-interview-with-founder-paulus-schoutsen/">interview</a> with <ahref="http://codepop.com/open-sourcecraft">OpenSourceCraft</a>, <ahref="https://github.com/fabaff">Fabian</a> did a <ahref="https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant-assets/tree/master/german/2017-clt-workshop">workshop</a> at the <ahref="https://chemnitzer.linux-tage.de/2017/en/">Chemnitzer Linux Tage</a>, and we are now an award-winning Open source project (I will cover that in a separate blog post).</p>
<h2>Plex</h2>
<p><ahref="https://github.com/JesseWebDotCom">@JesseWebDotCom</a> made massive changes to the <ahref="https://home-assistant.io/components/media_player.plex/">Plex</a> media player platform. From better metadata support over new configuration options to improved controls and non-controllable clients.</p>
<h2>Component overview</h2>
<p>The <ahref="https://home-assistant.io/components/">Components</a> overview is now powered by search/filtering feature. This will make it faster to get the component/platform you are looking for more quickly. Thanks again, <ahref="https://github.com/bdurrer">@bdurrer</a> for this.</p>
<p>## Changelog
The new format of the changelog which was introduced with 0.40 will provide a link to the related pull request. We are not covering everything in our release notes but we think that this addition will make it easier to find details about the change.</p>
<h2>New platforms/components</h2>
