• Since June, Frank Treacy (https://github.com/frank06) has been updating his how-to articles to use Octane, the latest one also using Mirage 1.0. Maybe we can give him and his blog a shout-out? https://emberigniter.com/articles/ (🔒 @jaredgalanis )

• There was a bugfix in ember-auto-import that is noteworthy. It's not an "official" ember addon, but we do recommend it in the Guides/everywhere. See this note in the README https://github.com/ef4/ember-auto-import#i-upgraded-my-ember-auto-import-version-and-now-things-dont-import-what-changed. Jen Weber can help answer any questions about it. It would be good to include an intro about what ember-auto-import does and maybe a link to the Guides on dependencies as well https://guides.emberjs.com/release/addons-and-dependencies/managing-dependencies/

📆 Future stories

• From Jen Weber: This is just a heads-up of an upcoming topic. In a couple weeks, we might have a community request for people to try out some features coming in canary. Someone from the framework team will let you know when the feature flags are enabled in master and will share a blurb about it. There will prob be a full blog post to link to.
