Now 30 people have participated. Thank you very much if you did. We think that’s enough time to have some “only partially representative” data. It’s hard to tell how many Home Assistant users are out there. Currently there are 215 members on our <a href="https://discord.gg/c5DvZ4e">Discord chat server</a> and last week <a href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/homeassistant/">PyPI</a> counted 5063 downloads.</p>
+<p>The idea was to anonymously collect some details about the usage of the different parts of Home Assistant and a little bit about the environment its running in.</p>

-    <p>As Home Assistant is gaining more and more users we started to feel the pain from not having a proper release mechanism. We had no version numbering and required users to checkout the source using Git to get started. On top of that, as the number of devices that we support keeps raising, so did the number of dependencies that are used. That’s why we decided to change the way we roll. From now on:</p>
-<ul>
-  <li>Each release will have a version number, starting with version 0.7. This was chosen because it shows that we have been around for some time but are not considering ourselves to be fully stable.</li>
-  <li>Each release will be pushed to PyPi. This will be the only supported method of distribution.</li>
-  <li>Home Assistant is available after installation as a command-line utility <code class="highlighter-rouge">hass</code>.</li>
-  <li>The default configuration location has been moved from <code class="highlighter-rouge">config</code> in the current working directory to <code class="highlighter-rouge">~/.homeassistant</code> (<code class="highlighter-rouge">%APPDATA%/.homeassistant</code> on Windows).</li>
-  <li>Requirements for components and platforms are no longer installed into the current Python environment (being virtual or not) but will be installed in <code class="highlighter-rouge">&lt;config-dir&gt;/lib</code>.</li>
-</ul>
-<p>A huge shout out to <a href="https://github.com/rmkraus">Ryan Kraus</a> for making this all possible. Please make sure you read <a href="/blog/2015/08/31/version-7-revamped-ui-and-improved-distribution/#read-more">the full blog post</a> for details on how to migrate your existing setup.</p>
-<p>And while Ryan was fixing distribution, I have been hard at work in giving Home Assistant a face lift. We already looked pretty good but lacked proper form of organization for users with many devices. The new UI moves away from a card per entity and has cards per group and domain instead. <a href="/demo/">The demo</a> has been updated so give it a spin.</p>
