This year's State of the Developer Ecosystem survey is coming along nicely. It's still time to contribute to the questions set and overall survey before we send it out!

Aiken v1.1.24 is now available 🎁, and with it, new (major) versions of the stdlib (v4.0.0) and fuzz (v3.0.0) libraries.
This coordinated update introduces a new primitive type to the language: Value, to work more efficiently with multi-assets quantities.
What else? 👇
✅ A new module in the standard library to work with `Value` and the new builtins.
✅ Important fixes around type unification, in particular around opaque types.
✅ Reduced memory usage and increased compiler performance when dealing with deeply nested data-structures.
✅ More robust type checking and parsing, in particular around stack overflow.
✅ Better errors and test failure reporting, in particular for Dict and Dict-like types such as `Pairs` (or Value!)
And more...! See the full release notes.

The repository also contains a little iOS application and systemd services to monitor and operate the node over bluetooth.

Cardano node diversity is no longer just an ambition, it is becoming real!
On the 6th October in Singapore and online, we are hosting "Cardano Diversity Celebration Day"
We would love to have all Cardano node teams share their vision for a more resilient network and a stronger protocol, and discuss when things will happen 👀

We are happy to showcase that we have a beta release of a Cardano Relay node! 🎉
You can see below Amaru sending a transaction on mainnet successfully and get a first look at how many resources it uses
Hint: running Grafana has a higher memory footprint than Amaru 😉

If you ever wondered what the engineering team at CF is doing sometimes, here's a snippet and good read from Pawel on BLS.
It's arguably one of the most powerful thing we have on Cardano today, and it's heavily underused. So it deserves some spotlight!
Cardano smart contracts can verify thousands of signatures for the cost of one.
No oracle, no external service. BLS12-381 elliptic curves run natively in every Cardano contract.
These primitives are production-ready. The new guide shows what's possible: cardanofoundation.org/blog/a…
