Moderator note:

When we first split the threads from having one single 'latest news' thread, we aimed to create more discussion with individual threads, allowing members to view the threads that they're interested in. This thread has become a little bit of a 'one-size fits all' thread for all discussion, so I've taken the opportunity to close this thread and split some of the more recent discussion into individual threads.
