<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 />
<img src="/images/supported_brands/sabnzbd.png" style="border:none; box-shadow: none; float: right;" height="50" /> 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>

<strong>PushOver</strong><br />
<img src="/images/supported_brands/pushover.png" style="border:none; box-shadow: none; float: right;" height="50" /> James Cole has also contributed support for <a href="https://pushover.net/">the PushOver service</a> as a platform for the notify component. This allows components to send messages to the user using PushOver.</p>
