Release Notes¶
Release notes are published on GitHub, where they are written as part of each release.
-
What changed most recently, including any upgrade notes.
-
Full history, with the source for each version attached.
Home Assistant also shows the notes for a pending update in Settings → Devices & Services → HACS before you install it.
Before updating¶
Most releases need nothing from you. When one does — an entity renamed, a sensor removed, a setting that has to be re-entered — it is called out at the top of that release's notes rather than buried in the list.
If an update causes a problem, the previous releases page lets you install any earlier version, and raising an issue with the version you came from is the most useful thing you can report.
