Happy #MagentoMonday!
First of all, my apologies for missing last week. While it was a holiday for some in the US, I was on PTO trying to finish up a move and—tho I tried—it wasn't possible to fit the digest in that day. Today's a bit behind schedule as I just arrived back in LA—on a plane with no wifi—from a weekend in Utrecht for the MageUnconference. It was a great event full of brainstorming and sharing knowledge ... in a Dutch fort! I've already sent a few internal emails with feedback collected, so thanks to everyone who attended and shared their thoughts on various subjects like patch releases and code contributions.
If I'll see you at Meet Magento Argentina or Meet Magento Spain this week, please let me know. 
Magento 2.1.2, 2.0.2, 1.14.3, 1.9.3 and SUPEE 8788
ICYMI, we've released Magento 2.1.2, 2.0.10, 1.14.3, 1.9.3 and SUPEE 8788. For SUPEE-8788, we needed to release a v2 of the patch as there were a couple widespread issues that didn't appear in our testing. If you're using 1.13.0.x, there was also a v3 of the patch today. Quite a few of you have been troubleshooting the patch here on the forums as well as on StackExchange.
Also, if you haven't seen it—we have a newly revised tech resources page that I'd love to hear your feedback on.
