+Time Entities
+-------------
+
+ESPHome now has support for ``time`` entities that can be set from the frontend (like Home Assistant). THis allows you to set a timer to execute future automations on device.
+
+ESPHome Dates require Home Assistant 2024.4 or later.
+
+
+Voice Assistant Audio
+---------------------
+
+This release adds support for sending and receiving audio to/from voice assistants via the API. Currently ESPHome sends and receives the Voice Assistant audio bytes
+via a UDP socket which can be unreliable and insecure. Beginning with Home Assistant 2024.5, both sides will automatically recognise that they both support API Audio and will
+use that route instead. This is more reliable because the ESPHome API uses a TCP socket, so packet order and delivery is guaranteed, and if you use API Encryption,
+your audio will also be encrypted in transit.
