+UDP & StatsD Components
+-----------------------
+
+This release brings two new data driven components to ESPHome.
+
+The first is the :doc:`UDP Component </components/udp>` which allows direct communication between ESPHome
+devices over the local network. TO start off, only sensor and binary sensor data can be transmitted, and
+hopefully more entity types will be supported in the future.
+
+Next is the :doc:`StatsD Component </components/statsd>` which allows you to send sensor data
+directly to a statsd server for monitoring.
+
+
+Breaking Changes
+----------------
+
+There are a few breaking changes this release that will require changes in YAML if you are
+using the affected components. Please make sure to check the list below for details about each one.
+The documentation is always the best place to find the most up-to-date information on configuration for
+any given component found in ESPHome.
+
+
+Thank you for your support
