+After two weeks of hard work I'm proud to announce the release of Home Assistant v0.7.6. For this release the main
+focus was bugs, test coverage and documentation. And we exceeded expectations on all three fronts. Bugs have been
+squashed, [test coverage increased to 85%](https://coveralls.io/builds/3946399) and thanks to the hard work by
+[@fabaff](https://github.com/fabaff) and myself the [component section](/components/) on the website has gotten a
+complete revamp.

+
+#### Breaking changes
+
+As part of this release we did some cleanup which introduced backwards incompatible changes:
+
+**Heat Control thermostat no longer includes scheduling features.**<br>
+This feature has been removed completely. Use the [automation component](/components/automation.html)
+instead to control target temperature.
+
+**Config changed for calling a service from a script.**<br>
+`execute_service:` has been replaced with `service:`. See [component page](/components/script.html)
+for example. The old method will continue working for some time.
+
+**Scenes can no longer be turned off.**<br>
+It is no longer possible to turn a scene off after it has been activated. The way it worked was unpredictable
+and causes a lot of confusion.
+
+**Downloader treats relative paths now relative to the config dir instead of the current working dir.**<br>
+This makes more sense as most people run Home Assistant as a daemon
