+It's like someone opened a can of rock solid developers and emptied it above our
+[chat channel](https://gitter.im/balloob/home-assistant) because it exploded with
+great conversations and solid contributions. Featured in release 0.7.3: Sonos, iTunes, Alarm component and Automation upgrade.
+
+See [GitHub](https://github.com/balloob/home-assistant/releases/tag/0.7.3) for more detailed release notes.
+
+_Migration note: the `scheduler` component has been removed in favor of the `automation` component._
+
+__Sonos__<br>
+<img src='/images/supported_brands/sonos.png' style='border:none; box-shadow: none; float: right;' height='50' />
+Sonos support has been added by [@rhooper](https://github.com/rhooper) and [@SEJeff](https://github.com/SEJeff). Home Assistant is now able to automatically
+detect Sonos devices in your network and set them up for you. It will allow you to control music
+playing on your Sonos and change the volume.
+
+__iTunes and airplay speakers__<br>
+<img src='/images/supported_brands/itunes.png' style='border:none; box-shadow: none; float: right;' height='50' />
+[@maddox](https://github.com/maddox) has contributed support for controlling iTunes and airplay speakers. For this to work you will
+have to run [itunes-api](https://github.com/maddox/itunes-api) on your Mac as middleware.
+
+```
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+media_player:
+  platform: itunes
+  name: iTunes
+  host: http://192.168.1.50
+  port: 8181
+```

+
+__Automation__<br>
+Automation has gotten a lot of love. It now supports conditions, multiple triggers and new types of
+triggers. The best to get started with it is to head over to the new
+[getting started with automation](/getting-started/automation.html) page.
+
+```yaml
+# Example of entry in configuration.yaml
+automation:
+  alias: Light on in the evening
+  trigger:
+    - platform: sun
+      event: sunset
+      offset: "-01:00:00"
+    - platform: state
+      entity_id: group.all_devices
+      state: home
+  condition:
+    - platform: state
+      entity_id: group.all_devices
+      state: home
+    - platform: time
+      after: "16:00:00"
+      before: "23:00:00"
+  action:
+    service: homeassistant.turn_on
+    entity_id: group.living_room
+```
+
+__Verisure Alarms__<br>
+<img src='/images/supported_brands/verisure.png' style='border:none; box-shadow: none; float: right;' height='50' />
+We now support arming and disarming your verisure alarm from within Home Assistant thanks to added
+support by [@persandstrom](https://github.com/persandstrom).
