2022.4: Groups! group! group!

I’m not sure where to start with this release; It’s April, and I can assure you: This release is no joke. Seriously, it’s packed with features and incredible new things.

The release focuses on adding features to the user interface by bringing in user experiences and features that were previously only available to users using YAML configuration and making them now accessible for all! It is a great step forward in streamlining all the user experiences.

I could not fit more in these release notes, but there is more to tell! Zack and Paulus promised to add a couple of great (and exclusive) announcements to the newsletter† The newsletter has, by the way, been renamed: Building the Open Home† Be sure to check it out!
