# Weekly Updates
## 2024-08-09
Here's what happened since the last update:
- [OpenTofu 1.8.0](https://opentofu.org/blog/opentofu-1-8-0/) is out with a lot of long-requested functionality, such as early evaluation for variables and locals, support for `.tofu` files with an override functionality, and enhancements to `tofu test` with provider mocking and resource overrides.
- [OpenTofu 1.8.1](https://github.com/opentofu/opentofu/releases/tag/v1.8.1) is available and fixes a small bug in the previous version.
- Recent developments:
- We have started extending the features related to the 1.8.0 early evaluation, such as passing providers to modules and resources using `for_each`. Our goal is to include these updates in the 1.9.0 release.
- We have accepted the [RFC](https://github.com/opentofu/opentofu/pull/1900) about supporting the `-exclude` flag and started working on it. We aim to release it as part of the 1.9.0 release.
- We are still working on a user interface for the registry. This includes creating a general-purpose library for working with the registry data in Go. We are making great progress in that area.
- We started investigating global provider cache locking and have a [draft PR](https://github.com/opentofu/opentofu/pull/1878) with a potential solution. More updates on this coming soon.
- How can I help?
- Update OpenTofu to version 1.8.0 and report any issues you encounter. Also, please share with us the feedback about the new features we released.
- Use OpenTofu, report issues, and please upvote the ones that are important to you! You can see an overall ranking in the [ranking issue](https://github.com/opentofu/opentofu/issues/1496).
- We occasionally mark issues with the `help-wanted` label, so keep an eye out for them!
