This release adds major runtime, scheduler, and watchdog optimizations; expanded OTA features including partition-table and bootloader updates; the public beta foundation for the new ESPHome Device Builder; new Sendspin multi-room audio and radio-frequency components; expanded Zigbee, nRF52, and Zephyr support; and faster CLI/config validation. It also improves BLE proxy reliability for long-lived Bluetooth connections and includes many new hardware/display integrations.
