<p>A new version of Home Assistant has just been pushed out. It contains bugfixes contributed by <a href="https://github.com/jamespcole">jamespcole</a>, <a href="https://github.com/andythigpen">andythigpen</a>, <a href="https://github.com/trainman419">trainman419</a> and <a href="https://github.com/balloob">me</a>. It also adds a bunch of great new features:</p>
<p><strong>Script</strong><br>
Andythigpen has contributed a script component. This allows users to create a sequence of service calls and delays. Scripts can be started using the service <code>script/turn_on</code> and interrupted using the service <code>script/turn_off</code>. A separate page has been added to the frontend to see the status of your scripts.</p>

<p><strong>Scene</strong><br>
I (Paulus) have contributed a scene component. A user can create scenes that capture the states you want certain entities to be. For example a scene can contain that light A should be turned on and light B should be bright red. Deactivating a scene will restore the previous state from before the scene was activated. Just like scripts, scenes have their own separate page to see which scenes are on.</p>

<strong>SABnzbd</strong><br>

James Cole has contributed support to integrate SABnzbd. This will allow you to monitor your downloads from within Home Assistant and setup automation based on the information.</p>
