2020.12: Automate with Blueprints!

Welcome to Home Assistant Core 2020.12! You are looking at our new versioning schedule. From now on, the Home Assistant Core will be using calendar versioning, consisting of the year, month and a patch number to indicate a bug-fix release. This also means our release schedule is changing. Home Assistant Core will now be released every first Wednesday of the month!

As most things are announced at the Home Assistant Conference† more things will be added/tweak in these release notes the next couple of days. For me, this has been an exiting year! And thanks everybody for contributing to this amazing project, no matter what and how you contributed. You are all amazing! With the Holiday season coming, it’s time to slow down a bit, enjoy time with our family. And in a couple of weeks, a new year will start; Let’s make it a good one!

Happy holidays, stay safe and for the last time this year: Enjoy the release!
