Looking over the landscape today; I really did not want to be one of the first to comment, and yet it seems I must...
Hard-fork 20 was released on the 25th, and we are now about 48 hours into the history of it. You won't see a great deal change on the website, except a red banner that states the system was recently "upgraded".
I saw one Meme that had a burning house picture, and said "HF20 Successful!" and that sort of sums up the humor involved I suppose.

Some consider it a disaster because the network was down for a day or 2, but this will be normal once a year, or when hard-forks happen. Major surgery in this case, but no Hivemind included?
Looks like we now have Resource Credits (RC or bandwidth) and Mana (voting power) and the 2 have been separated, in order to be able to control the network, and stop people from gaming the system.
Meanwhile:
Last I read, I thought Hivemind (Communities) would be part of this release. Now that it's not included, NO WORD of when and if it ever will be included.. so that was the sad part for me.
TODO:
We wait and start testing the system to see what it can do, whales first... and everyone else after a few more days. Wait for your powers to return to almost full before attempting to post or comment would be my advice.
Watch:
