summary
Core developers explain concrete progress: a public registry built after terms changed, a week‑long legal response to a cease‑and‑desist, and a live 1.9 alpha adding an exclude flag and for_each on providers while 1.8 adds the .tofu extension to safely test features and fall back to Terraform. They report a 40% memory reduction found debugging a 40k‑resource state, ongoing RFCs to decouple backend versions, community‑driven roadmaps, an active testing overhaul, and onboarding materials plus security features like state encryption.
