0.32

Another two weeks have passed and we are pleased to present Home Assistant 0.32.

Hacktoberfest

The Hacktoberfest is over now. Home Assistant made the 2nd and the 3rd place out of almost 30'000 participating repositories with a total of 528 pull requests closed - that's an average of 17 pull requests a day! Thanks to all the contributors but also to the team of reviewers. This wouldn't been possible without you 👏 .

Improved error reporting

This release has improved the reporting when a config validation error occurs. Thanks to @kellerza you will now get a persistent notification added to your UI when this happens.

Asynchronous

This release contains the first asynchronous sensor and camera platforms. @pvizeli and @fabaff ported most of the "internal" sensors to async programming. We hope that you will enjoy the new speed.

@balloob and @pvizeli worked a lot on the improvement of the core itself.

Weather component

For a long time we have had a bunch of weather sensors but it's getting better: There is now a Weather component. Sorry, not much more to tell right now. The plans are to create a weather UI element and to improve the initial implementation.
