+A new version of Home Assistant has just been pushed out. It contains bugfixes contributed by [jamespcole](https://github.com/jamespcole), [andythigpen](https://github.com/andythigpen), [trainman419](https://github.com/trainman419) and [me](https://github.com/balloob). It also adds a bunch of great new features:
+
+__Script__<br>
+Andythigpen has contributed a script component. This allows users to create a sequence of service calls and delays. Scripts can be started using the service `script/turn_on` and interrupted using the service `script/turn_off`. A separate page has been added to the frontend to see the status of your scripts.
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+script:
+  # Turns on the bedroom lights and then the living room lights 1 minute later
+  wakeup:
+    alias: Wake Up
+    sequence:
+      - alias: Bedroom lights on
+        execute_service: light.turn_on
+        service_data:
+          entity_id: group.bedroom
+      - delay:
+          # supports seconds, milliseconds, minutes, hours, etc.
+          minutes: 1
+      - alias: Living room lights on
+        execute_service: light.turn_on
+        service_data:
+          entity_id: group.living_room
+```
+
+__Scene__<br>
+I (Paulus) have contributed a scene component. A user can create scenes that capture the states you want certain entities to be. For example a scene can contain that light A should be turned on and light B should be bright red. Deactivating a scene will restore the previous state from before the scene was activated. Just like scripts, scenes have their own separate page to see which scenes are on.
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+scene:
+  - name: Romantic
+    entities:
+      light.tv_back_light: on
+      light.ceiling:
+        state: on
+        color: [0.33, 0.66]
+        brightness: 200
+```
+
+__SABnzbd__<br>
+<img src='/images/supported_brands/sabnzbd.png' style='border:none; box-shadow: none; float: right;' height='50' />
+James Cole has contributed support to integrate SABnzbd. This will allow you to monitor your downloads from within Home Assistant and setup automation based on the information.
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+sensor:
+  - platform: sabnzbd
+    name: SAB
+    api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
+    # Example: http://192.168.1.32:8124/
+    base_url: YOUR_SABNZBD_BASE_URL
+    monitored_variables:
+        - type: 'current_status'
+        - type: 'speed'
+        - type: 'queue_size'
+        - type: 'queue_remaining'
+        - type: 'disk_size'
+        - type: 'disk_free'
+```
+
+__PushOver__<br>
+<img src='/images/supported_brands/pushover.png' style='border:none; box-shadow: none; float: right;' height='50' />
+James Cole has also contributed support for <a href='https://pushover.net/'>the PushOver service</a> as a platform for the notify component. This allows components to send messages to the user using PushOver.
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+notify:
+    platform: pushover
+    # Get this by registering a new application on https://pushover.net
+    api_key: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
+    # Get this by logging into your account on https://pushover.net
+    user_key: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
+```
