0.7.6: Amazon FireTV, Radiotherm thermostats
+ + + + + +After two weeks of hard work I’m proud to announce the release of Home Assistant v0.7.6. For this release the main +focus was bugs, test coverage and documentation. And we exceeded expectations on all three fronts. Bugs have been +squashed, test coverage increased to 85% and thanks to the hard work by +@fabaff and myself the component section on the website has gotten a +complete revamp.

Breaking changes
+ +As part of this release we did some cleanup which introduced backwards incompatible changes:
+ +Heat Control thermostat no longer includes scheduling features.
+This feature has been removed completely. Use the automation component
+instead to control target temperature.
Config changed for calling a service from a script.
+execute_service:
has been replaced with service:
. See component page
+for example. The old method will continue working for some time.
Scenes can no longer be turned off.
+It is no longer possible to turn a scene off after it has been activated. The way it worked was unpredictable
+and causes a lot of confusion.
Downloader treats relative paths now relative to the config dir instead of the current working dir.
+This makes more sense as most people run Home Assistant as a daemon
