0.38, hurry :tada: In this release we (special thanks to [@pvizeli]) have migrated all core components to work asynchronous.
The configuration checking support was expanded. We have now `homeassistant.check_config`. This means that the service `homeassistant.restart` will now only restart your Home Assistant installation if the configuration is valid.
### {% linkable_title Rewritten frontend core %}
The core of the frontend has been completely been rewritten, optimizing for speed and lost connection recovery. Even on the slowest phones it should fly now.
### {% linkable_title Custom state-card UI %}
A nice new feature is the possibility to create [custom state-card][custom-ui] in the frondend. Go ahead and write your own state-card for [lights][light], sensors, locks, etc.
### {% linkable_title MQTT discovery %}
The latest MQTT feature is [discovery][mqtt-discovery] support. Do not confuse this which the Home Assistant [Discovery][discovery]. MQTT Discover is for MQTT-only. Similar to the HTTP sensor/binary sensor allows this to use devices with minimal configuration.
### {% linkable_title Alert component %}
If you left your front door open, then the [`alert`][alert] component can be used to remind you of this by sending you repeating notifications at a given interval.
### {% linkable_title Yeelight %}
The [`yeelight`][yeelight] component has been ported to use a more stable and feature-complete [python-yeelight][python-yeelight] backend, and supports now both white and RGB bulbs. The component also supports transitions and can be configured to save the settings to the bulb on changes. The users currently using custom components for Yeelight are encouraged to move back to use the included version and report any problems with it to our [issue tracker][issue].

### {% linkable_title Breaking changes %}
- The support for [LG webOS Smart TVs][webostv] was improved. This requires you to move `$HOME/.pylgtv` to `$HASS_CONFIG_DIR/webostv.conf` or Home Assistant will need to be paired with the TV again.
- Image processing events have been renamed: `identify_face` has become `image_processing.detect_face`, `found_plate` has become `image_processing.found_plate`
- The [FFmpeg binary sensor][ffmpeg-bin] change the platform name from `ffmpeg` to `ffmpeg_noise` and `ffmpeg_motion`. Also all FFmpeg-related services are moved from a platform implementation to a the [FFmpeg components][ffmpeg] and were rename from `binary_sensor.ffmpeg_xy` to `ffmpeg.xy`.
### {% linkable_title If you need help... %}
...don't hesitate to use our [Forum][forum] or join us for a little [chat][gitter]. The release notes have comments enabled but it's preferred if you use the former communication channels. Thanks.
