# Weekly Updates
## 2024-05-10
Hello there! Again after a break in updates, since most weeks we've had preview or stable releases, which summed up most of what happened.
We haven't slowed down, and managed to get the stable release out according to schedule, before the end of April! Since then, we've got a few bug reports and already released a follow-up 1.7.1 release. Now, we're primarily working towards the 1.8 release.
- Current Status
- State Encryption
- We've fixed some issues as part of 1.7.1, and have [one more important usability issue](https://github.com/opentofu/opentofu/issues/1605) that we'd like to improve on in the not-too-distant future.
- [Init-time constant evaluation](https://github.com/opentofu/opentofu/issues/1042)
- Got accepted by the TSC and will be the flagship feature of 1.8.
- We're currently planning and splitting up the work to be done.
- We'll most likely deliver it in parts, with the foundation and first features in 1.8, and later more features built on top of it in 1.9.
- [Registry UI](https://github.com/opentofu/registry/issues/450)
- We've been asked about this a lot, and have now started working on it.
- A lot of smaller tickets are being worked on, you can take a look at the [1.7.2 and 1.8.0 milestones](https://github.com/opentofu/opentofu/milestones) for details.
- Additionally, we're working on improved developer documentation on how to author end-to-end tests in OpenTofu as we hope to increase the end-to-end test coverage. We'll be opening a bunch of related issues, most of which should be open to external contribution!
- How can I help?
- 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!
## 2024-04-17
Hey there! First, apologies for the lack of updates over the last two weeks, we've been a bit busy with the [Cease and Desist Letter we got](https://opentofu.org/blog/our-response-to-hashicorps-cease-and-desist/). That's fortunately all sorted now, and we're fully back to engineering work this week! All of this delayed 1.7 by around a week, but this delay also gave us some additional time to add cool unique features to provider-defined functions in OpenTofu!
