The focus of todays release is on getting the recording component to you to start recording and getting some data. To show what is being recorded a view has been added that shows the last 24 hours of your house. Expect more extensive tools to explore your history in the future.</p>
+
+<p>Adding history to the UI was a challenge on itself because the old UI did not support easy navigation. So to add to the awesomeness of this release, Home Assistant also got a face lift.</p>
+
+<p>The history component will be enabled for new users by default. For current users, run <code>scripts/update</code> to upgrade to the latest version and add <code>[history]</code> to your <code>home-assistant.conf</code> file.</p>
