- Core Changes like the addition of the :ref:`SPI bus <spi>` and :ref:`UART bus <uart>`
- Lots of new ::ref:`light effects <light-effects>` and support for cold-white/warm-white lights.
- A LOGO FOR THIS PROJECT!!! Thanks a lot to `@messimore <https://github.com/messismore>`__ for
this visual masterpiece.
And if you find esphomelib great and have some of your projects using it, please do spread the word online
(like `Christoph Dahlen did <https://www.dahlen.org/2018/08/esp8266-via-esphomelib-mit-home-assistant-verbinden/>`__)
and/or create :ref:`cookbook <cookbook>` entries so that others can learn from your work. Of course the main objective
of this website is to document esphomelib's features, but my vision is that it also inspires others to start
awesome projects ☀️

And in some more personal news, you might have noticed that I was not very active in online communications (github, discord, ...)
and that's partly been due to me concentrating on other stuff (university applications, work and
`this year's international olympiad of informatics <http://blog.ocg.at/2018/09/dritter-blog-von-der-ioi-in-tsukuba-japan/>`__).
But admittedly I must say being constantly active online is just very exhausting. As the next few weeks (or even months)
will leave me with little time to due to the start of my studies, I plan on primarily focusing on GitHub communications.
Plus I want to put an extra focus on reviewing PRs so that code submitters don't have to wait for weeks.
Other notable changes
*********************
- Fixed certain occasions where esphomeyaml could run into recursive dependencies
- Fixed i2c scans not showing up via MQTT
- Improved build times by about 60%. Now, the build time should depend on the amount of components you're using, not the total esphomelib code base size.
- Fixed ESP32 Touch setup mode
- Fixed template binary sensors
- Added the option to specify ``never`` for ``update_interval`` to never
- Added ``deep_sleep.prevent`` and ``deep_sleep.enter`` actions
- Fixed ESP32BLETracker surpassing the maximum code size
- Fixed ESP32BLETracker/Beacon throwing an exception when a warning occurs.
- Fixed FastLED effects not taking into account the light brightness
- Fixed compatibility with Arduino core versions below 2.0.4
- Added ``output.turn_on``, ``output.turn_off`` and ``output.set_level`` actions.
- Fixed the remote transmitter/receiver using the heap inefficiently on the ESP8266 (was causing reboots)
- Fixed reliability with reading data from BME280s
- Fixed gas resistance readings from BME680s
- Fixed HTU21D readings only working in very verbose mode
- Sometimes the ESP would create a WiFi hotspot even though it was not configured to do so. That should be fixed now.
- You can now also have conditional actions. See :ref:`if_action`.
