 Home Assistant Core 2023.7! 🎉
 
-Thanks for helping out testing the beta! ❤️
+The previous release was a big one, and this one is no different!
 
-Enjoy the (beta) release!
+This release brings in a change to Home Assistant, which we consider to be one
+of the biggest game changers of the past years: Services can now respond with
+data! 🤯
+
+It is such a fundamental change, which will allow for many new use cases and
+opens the gates for endless possibilities. I'm so excited about this one!
+
+But that is not all; there is a lot more in store for you! Some of my favorites:
+The Bluetooth proxies are now lightning fast, copy 'n paste in dashboards, a new
+sentence trigger, and I love that an broken automation no longer disappears
+in thin air but now shows up in the UI marked as problematic.
+
+All-in-all, a great release packed with many new features and a lot of
+quality-of-life improvements.
+
+Enjoy the release!
