Almost at the end
This release is a major milestone - 100 contributors have contributed over the last two weeks. A great bit thank you to everybody who contributed, both those returning and those who've been involved for their first time.
First release that has seen 100 contributors write backend code in the last 2 weeks. AMAZING.
To go with the configuration entry support, MQTT also now also integrates with the device registry. Not to be left out, LIFX, SimpliSafe, and Z-Wave have all gained both device registry support, and configuration entry support.
- New service home_assistant.update_entity to force update an entity
- Template sensors will no longer auto update if we can't find relevant entities in the template
- Water heaters get their own home
- Lovelace thermostat.
- Z-Wave config entry support and device registry support. Also LIFX and SimpliSafe.
- device registry support for MQTT
Lovelace has yet another new card, the thermostat card:

Other things to be aware of:
- We have a new service `home_assistant.update_entity` to request the update of an entity, rather than waiting for the next scheduled update. This means you can set a really long `scan_interval` in the [platform_options] and then update on demand, ideal for those services where you have low API limit.
- Template sensors will no longer auto update if we can't find relevant entities in the template. You'll want to review your template sensors and consider adding relevant `entity_id` entries.
- Water heaters get their own platform separate from `climate`, because you're not a fish living inside the hot water tank
