 * Make it a lot easier to read off the color legend on the asset page, especially when showing many sensors, as they will now be ordered from top to bottom in the same order as they appear in the chart (as defined in the ``sensors_to_show`` attribute), rather than alphabetically [see `PR #742 <https://www.github.com/FlexMeasures/flexmeasures/pull/742>`_]
 * Having percentages within the [0, 100] domain is such a common use case that we now always include it in sensor charts with % units, making it easier to read off individual charts and also to compare across charts [see `PR #739 <https://www.github.com/FlexMeasures/flexmeasures/pull/739>`_]
 * DataSource table now allows storing arbitrary attributes as a JSON (without content validation), similar to the Sensor and GenericAsset tables [see `PR #750 <https://www.github.com/FlexMeasures/flexmeasures/pull/750>`_]
+* Added API endpoint `/sensor/<id>` for fetching a single sensor. [see `PR #759 <https://www.github.com/FlexMeasures/flexmeasures/pull/759>`_]
 * The CLI now allows to set lists and dicts as asset & sensor attributes (formerly only single values) [see `PR #762 <https://www.github.com/FlexMeasures/flexmeasures/pull/762>`_]
