Upcoming v2.27.0-beta

The next beta release is cooking behind the curtains and contains larger refactoring on how DDFs are loaded and initial beta support for DDF bundles. These are an evolution of how device integrations are currently distributed.

For example, if in a deCONZ setup running via Home Assistant add-on you want to use a freshly created device integration for some device, currently this requires waiting for a new deCONZ release. With DDF bundles this becomes independent of the deCONZ release cadence: And just one small file for the new device needs to be uploaded (via REST-API / web UI).

The idea is, that if a new device is added, or a bug is fixed for a device, users can test it right away and also revert back easily.
