Hey there, Drupaleros!
In case you didn't hear, Drupal 8.0.0-rc1 has been released!
If you've been waiting to try it out, now's a good time to start your engines. There are a few critical issues left to fix, but there aren't any known issues that are serious enough to prevent you from building a new website.
Meanwhile, there was a scheduled Drupal 7 maintenance release (i.e. no security fixes) scheduled for this week, but it has been delayed by a couple days. The next security release for Drupal 7 will be on October 21, 2015.
