-These are the beta release notes for Home Assistant Core 2021.10 (and is thus a
-work in progress).
+October! I love this month!
-If you encounter any issues with the beta release, please report them on GitHub:
+For most of you (just like me), it means winter is coming. We all go back
+inside. An excellent excuse to spent a bit more time on our smart homes, right? 😃
-- Issues with integrations, automations and such (Core related):

-- Issues with the frontend/Lovelace:

-- Issues with the Supervisor:

-- Issues with the documentation:

+It is also the month of celebrating open source by joining
+[Hacktoberfest][hacktoberfest]! If you make 4 contributions to any open-source
+project (Home Assistant, for example 😘), you'll receive a free t-shirt!
-Please be sure to include the beta version you are running in the issue
-description (not title), so we can classify your issue correctly.
+For the Home Assistant project, this means a busy month. However, that doesn't
+matter. It is always great to see new people contributing!
+
+Meanwhile, Home Assistant turned 8 years old already! Wild! And the birthday
+announcement was even wilder (more about that below).
+
+Anyways, about this release: Z-Wave JS is stepping up its game! If you have
+a Z-Wave network and are not using Z-Wave JS yet... well... it might be time
+to bite the bullet and go for it. You won't regret it.
+
+This release also brings the new much-talked-about, Tuya integration
+supported by Tuya themselves! I'm looking forward to how that evolves!
+
+Oh, and of course, we will be live streaming the 2021.10 release party later today!
+Join us at @ 21:00 CEST.
+
+Enjoy the release!
