Riot/Web:
* 0.14 is out!!! (and so is 0.14.1)
* The Great Relayering is almost finished
* Lots of bugfixing and polishing happening post 0.14; reporting telemetry too.
Riot/Mobile:
* Supporting L'État Français
* Notifs on Android UX
Synapse
* 0.27.3 was released as a pretty major update, required for Riot 0.14 - supports joinable groups, better phonehome stats, and yet more perf fixes.
* Fixed a nasty quoting bug which killed Parity's server :(
* 0.27.4 was released today to fix a dependency bug.
* Please torture test on private networks, not the public network!!
* Caught up on PRs (to some extent!)
* Ansible playbooks in final stage of testing (repo will be opened asap)
Dendrite
* PRs from Crom and ElyKar
* Otherwise, still trapped in Synapse
Integrations
* Folks have been experimenting with stickers on develop (currently there's a regression though)
Spec
* Being hijacked by Riot/Web work.
Community stuff!
* Ben started and is reworking Try Matrix Now page
* New format coming up for Matrix Live (sort of)!
* Starting next week: "This week in Matrix" blog, spanning the whole community: please come share your updates in #thisweekinmatrix:matrix.org! - we'll then talk through some of the highlights here alongside the stuff the core team's been up to (and so where Patreon/Liberapay/etc $ is going).
