 It's time for Home Assistant 0.96. It's a great release, but we also made some changes, so please pay attention.
 
-## Sidebar
+## Pimp my Sidebar
 
-We have a new sidebar! Idea started with [a mockup by @JuanMTech on Twitter](https://twitter.com/JuanMTech/status/1143757213971943424) and grew into a full blown implementation. The sidebar will now always be visible in a minimized mode. Hovering it will expand it. The developer tool buttons have been collapsed into a single menu item. The dev tools will now store it's exact state when you navigate away, included the dev tool that is open. We've also taken the opportunity to make notifications accessible from the sidebar, instead of only via the Lovelace UI.

 On mobile devices the sidebar will behave like it previously did. Check [the demo](https://demo.home-assistant.io) for a preview.

 ## Climate
 
-This release includes a major clean up of our climate integration, correcting some architectural flaws from the past. We've done a lot of testing during the beta, but there might still be things that don't work as expected. Please report if you notice anything.
+This release includes a major clean up of our climate integration, correcting some architectural flaws from the past. The goal of this clean up was to a better job at providing an abstraction layer that fits many devices. This will improve compatibility with services that interact with Home Assistant (like Alexa/Google) and will allow us to make sure the UI works for everyone. We've done a lot of testing during the beta, but there might still be things that don't work as expected. If you notice anything, please report by [**opening a bug report**](https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues).
 
 For a breakdown of what was driving the change, [check our blog post on the dev blog](https://developers.home-assistant.io/blog/2019/07/03/climate-cleanup.html).
