Preparing the Home Assistant 2026.11 beta and I keep staring at the numbers.
4,858 merged pull requests. That doesn't just beat our previous record, it beats it by roughly a thousand.
Big new features, a mountain of fixes, and a crazy amount of quality work under the hood. That last part is the stuff nobody posts about, but it's what makes the next release better too.
Huge thanks to every contributor who had a hand in this one.
