 ### Combining Thread networks
 
 In the current implementation, having multiple <abbr title="Thread border routers">TBRs</abbr> from different vendors results in separate networks using different credentials. This prevents devices from roaming between the Thread networks. In theory, it would be better to join all Thread networks into a single network to increase the size of the mesh network.

+
+## Strict connections
+
+In this release, we’ve added a new security feature to Home Assistant:
+Strict connection.
+
+Home Assistant will become more strict about the connections it accepts from
+non-private networks when enabling this mode. This feature is especially useful
+when exposing your Home Assistant instance to the internet.
+
+When enabled, Home Assistant will only accept clients that have already been
+authenticated. This means that unauthenticated connections will be denied
+without the possibility of logging in directly. To log in to a new device,
+you need to be either on the local network or use a temporary link generated
+by someone with administrator access.
+
+<img class="no-shadow" src='https://github.com/home-assistant/core/assets/5662298/6cc4b668-0a22-40e8-894b-bd509a86291d' alt='Temporary screenshot that needs to be replaced.'>
+
+Strict connection comes in two modes: **Guard page** and **Drop connection**.
+
+When your Home Assistant is accessed unauthenticated using the **guard page**
+mode, it will show a page the user cannot access the instance. A possibility
+to log in, is not available (unless you have a temporary link).
+
+When your Home Assistant is accessed unauthenticated using the **guard page**
+mode, it will show a page where the user cannot access the instance. Login is
+not possible (unless you have a temporary link).
+
+When using the **drop connection** mode, Home Assistant will not even show the
+login page. The connection will be dropped immediately, making it look like
+no Home Assistant is there at all.
+
+The strict connection feature is available for [Home Assistant Cloud](https://www.nabucasa.com)
+and non-cloud users. For non-cloud users, this option is available via YAML
+configuration. Home Assistant Cloud users can manage this feature from the
+cloud settings page.
+
+<img class="no-shadow" src='https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1120776124398588006/1232736564677709834/image.png?ex=662a8ae4&is=66293964&hm=76fa335361d8b8643cec77a8bdcc8b9dfb3290a4d7b98651031562571403f7fc&' alt='Temporary screenshot that needs to be replaced.'>
+
+[Read more about it in our documentation](/integrations/http/#strict-connection-mode)
+
+## More features for our data tables
+
+In the last release, we introduced the new data tables, and by the looks of
+the responses, you all loved them! 🎉
+
+Nevertheless, we also saw lots of feedback for additional tweaks and features,
+so in this release, we’ve added a bunch!
+
+- Grouped items can now be collapsed!
+  
+  <img class="no-shadow" src='https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/assets/5662298/43fe01cf-69f1-44c0-a991-cff53106839b' alt='Temporary screenshot that needs to be replaced.'>
+  
+- You can now group entities by their domain in the entities panel.
+- You can now filter by entity domain in the entities panel.
+- Select and assign an area to multiple items at once in  the automation, scene,
+  script, and device pages.
+- We now store the last used grouping (and if they were collapsed or not) and
+  sorting you have used, so when you return to that page, it will be the same
+  as you left it.
+
+## Created helpers from automation editor
+
+Our good friend [@karwosts] has been busy creating a great quality of life
+improvement for our automation editor this release.
+
+I'm sure you'll know this feeling. You are creating an automation and think:
+"Hey, I need a helper for this!" But then you have to leave the automation
+editor, create the helper, and then go back to the automation editor.
+
+Well, not anymore! You can now create helpers directly from the automation
+editor 😎
+
+<img class="no-shadow" src='https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/assets/32912880/ebd187fa-a979-4bf8-ab50-4f70a27d09da' alt='Temporary screenshot that needs to be replaced.'>

+
+## Lock feature for tile card
+
+The tile card is already amamzing, but [@marcgeurts] made it even better by 
+adding a new feature for the tile card: Locks!
+
+<img class="no-shadow" src='https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/assets/11457346/3dfe28bd-9396-40e9-b232-2f997f918855' alt='Temporary screenshot that needs to be replaced.'>
