Highlights

Text entities are now supported. This gap in the entity model was quietly filled by HA in the December 2022, and it went unnoticed until now.
Entities can now be marked "hidden". This will cause them to be disabled by default, and users will need to manually enable them to use them in Home Assistant. The intention is to use this for advanced configuration options that most users should not touch.
23 new devices, improvements to 7 devices, plus bulk improvements to lights, air quality sensors, thermostats and one heater.
