+you are in this world of course.)
 
-If you encounter any issues with the beta release, please report them on GitHub:
+It also means: This is the second last release of the year...

+Hacktoberfest is over! In the month October, people
+contribute to projects (like Home Assistant) to celebrate open source.
+I've seen lots of new faces and new contributors this month. To those I want
+to say: Welcome! Thanks for contributing your free spare time; Thanks for
+being a hero! ❤️
 
-Please be sure to include the beta version you are running in the issue
-description (not title), so we can classify your issue correctly.
+And, there is more! Something that isn't really visible. In the background,
+an army of contributors are improving a tremendous amount of Home
+Assistant code, which improves stability, readability, and maintainability  of
+our project's codebase. As a matter of fact, because of this incredible work,
+counted by the number of contributions, this release might just a well be one
+of the biggest ever. Work, you generally don't notice, but is still done.
+Weird huh? Another group of heroes! ❤️
 
-Issues introduced in the beta are processed with priority.
+For me personally, this has been a crazy month. After the last release, I was
+sad to read about issues people had with the new Tuya integration. I went to
+different stores, bought many Tuya devices, and spent a lot of time improving
+the experience by extending device support. Hopefully, I've been able to do
+enough to make the Tuya integration acceptable.
 
+This release... a long-time wishlist item of mine is in: The icon picker! 😍
+So cool to see this happening, it is amazing, beautiful, super helpful,
+and it also supports third-party icon sets! 🤩
+
+Enjoy the release!
