Highlights
This release brings improvements to the new cloud setup flow from the last release, especially for hubs, or when device IP address discovery fails.
It also fixes some new warnings that HA 2024.6.x complains about in their quest for startup performance at all costs.
Breaking changes
- Minimum HA requirement is now 2024.5, due to substantial changes forced by that version that appear to have issues on earlier versions
of HA.
