Welcome to 2017 and 0.36. We are proud to announce the first release for this year. While we are still migrating parts to async but 0.36 is focusing on new features and bug fixes.

[Packages][packages] are providing a new way to organize different component's configuration parts together. With packages we offer the option to include different components or parts of configuration using any of the `!include` directives.

No, unfortunately we are not going to space. The `iss` sensor is tracking the position of the International Space Station and gives your some details.

The support for Insteon was removed due to issues. With the `insteon_local` component support for [Insteon][insteon] is back.

The new [image processing component][image] currently works with [number plates][plates]. But this could level the way to integrate feature like facial recognition or gestures control.
