+    <p>Wow, almost a month has gone by since the last release and this release is <em>packed</em>. The biggest part of this release is probably one that you won’t notice: the frontend has been upgraded from Polymer 0.5 to the brand new released Polymer 1.0. Polymer has been declared stable by the Google overlords which will allow us to expand functionality that was waiting for this moment to arrive.</p>
+<p>This release sets a record for the amount of people involved: 8! <a href="https://github.com/Andythigpen">Andythigpen</a>, <a href="https://github.com/Jamespcole">Jamespcole</a>, <a href="https://github.com/Azelphur">Azelphur</a>, <a href="https://github.com/Fabaff">Fabaff</a>, <a href="https://github.com/Dutchy-">Dutchy-</a>, <a href="https://github.com/Fbradyirl">Fbradyirl</a>, <a href="https://github.com/wind-rider">wind-rider</a> and <a href="https://github.com/ettisan">ettisan</a>, thanks a lot for your contributions!</p>
+<p>A big improvement has been brought this release by wind-rider. He took the time to revive the Chromecast support and started improving the media player integration. This triggered other people to join in resulting in a revamped media player experience and support for the Music Player Daemon.</p>

+    <p>Almost three busy weeks have past since the last release. We used this time to finally make the overhaul to use UTC as the internal date time format. We added a bunch of test coverage in the process to make sure the transition went smoothly. Pleas see <a href="/blog/2015/05/09/utc-time-zone-awareness/#backwards-incompatible-stuff">the blog post about the UTC refactor</a> for backwards incompatible changes.</p>
+<p>This release includes a significant startup boost for the frontend and a fix for Wemo discovery after their latest firmware upgrade.</p>
+<p>I would like to give a big shout out to our newest contributor <a href="https://github.com/fabaff">fabaff</a> for taking the time to improve the documentation.</p>

-    <p>I have just merged the latest version of the development branch into master. Here are some of the highlights of this release:</p>
-<p><strong>Configuration via the frontend</strong><br />
-Phliips Hue will now be auto discovered and uses the new <code class="highlighter-rouge">configurator</code> component to interact with the user to finish the setup process.</p>
-<p><strong>Wink Hub support</strong><br />
-Thanks to the work done by John McLaughlin and Geoff Norton we now support the lights, switches and sensors that are connected to the Wink hub.</p>
-<p><strong>The getting started guide and component page have been reorganized</strong><br />
-The getting started instructions have been split into separate pages per component and a general overview page. The goal is to have a page per component that describes:</p>
-<ul>
-  <li>What it does</li>
-  <li>How to set it up</li>
-  <li>Which states it maintains</li>
-  <li>Which services it provides</li>
-  <li>Additional development tips</li>
-</ul>
-<p><strong>More reasonable errors</strong><br />
-Home Assistant should now throw better errors and offer solutions if you do not have the right version of Python 3, forgot to clone the git submodules or install the dependencies.</p>
-<p><strong>Streamlined first launch</strong><br />
-Home Assistant now supports <code class="highlighter-rouge">--open-ui</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">--demo-mode</code> command line properties to open the browser automatically and have something to show. Home Assistant now supports to be run without a password, allowing the interface to login automatically on launch.</p>

-    <p>For thet majority of its existence, Home Assistant primary focus was on presence detection, lights and switches. But not anymore as we’re expanding the supported devices. Today, we’re proud to introduce Nest Thermostat integration for Home Assistant contributed by <a href="https://github.com/sfiorini">Stefano Fiorini</a>!</p>
-<p class="img">
-  <img src="/images/screenshots/nest-thermostat-card.png" />
-</p>
-<p>The new integration exists out of two parts: a generic thermostat component and a Nest platform implementation. The initial version implements provides a read-only card and services to control it. The plan is in the future to add temperature and away mode controls from the thermostat card and more info dialog. Internally, we are using the Python package <a href="https://github.com/jkoelker/python-nest">python-nest by jkoelker</a> to talk to the Nest.</p>
-<p>If you own a Nest thermostat, add the following lines to your <code class="highlighter-rouge">home-assistant.conf</code>:</p>
-<div class="language-conf highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>[<span class="n">thermostat</span>]
-<span class="n">platform</span>=<span class="n">nest</span>
-<span class="n">username</span>=<span class="n">YOUR_USERNAME</span>
-<span class="n">password</span>=<span class="n">YOUR_PASSWORD</span>
