# Weekly Updates
## 02.10.2023
Hey!
Another week, another update! This last week has been all about the alpha release, which is planned to be released this week, ideally tomorrow (Tuesday).
- Current Status
- Alpha release is blocked only by the initial registry work
- [There's a PR open](https://github.com/opentofu/opentofu/pull/379) for using the OpenTofu registry as the default in OpenTofu.
- There's been extensive work on caching, discussed in [a GitHub issue](https://github.com/opentofu/registry/issues/97) and [a Slack channel](https://opentofucommunity.slack.com/archives/C05UH44L449).
- [One PR](https://github.com/opentofu/registry/pull/103) introduced a better version listing cache in DynamoDB, to reuse the cache across provider listing and provider downloading.
- [Another PR](https://github.com/opentofu/registry/pull/105) introduced http-level caching for all requests to GitHub, which generally avoids making the same request twice in quick succession.
- There's a bug in the provider mirroring scripts which makes them not properly trigger GitHub Actions. We're working on a fix.
- [There's a bug](https://github.com/opentofu/registry/issues/121) with module downloading, for which both tags in the form of `x.y.z` and `vx.y.z` are supported, while we only support one of them.
- Up next
- The alpha release is planned for this week, using our alpha registry.
- As described last week, once the alpha release is out, we'll be kicking off discussions about the stable registry design.
- One such issue [has already been opened](https://github.com/opentofu/opentofu/issues/619) and explores the problem space of handling signatures and public keys.
- How can I help?
- Right now the best way to help is to create issues, discuss on issues, and spread the word about OpenTofu. Additionally, the alpha release is coming out this week. We'd appreciate you taking it for a test drive and letting us know about any issues you encounter.
- There are some occasional minor issues which are accepted and open to external contribution, esp. ones outside the release-blocking path. We’re also happy to accept any minor refactors or linter fixes. [Please see the contributing guide for more details](https://github.com/opentofu/opentofu/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md).
- We have multiple engineers available full-time in the core team, so we’re generally trying to own any issues that are release blockers - this way we can make sure we get to the release as soon as possible.
- The amount of pending-decision-labeled issues on the repository might be a bit off-putting. The reason for that is that right now we’re prioritizing the alpha and stable release. Only after we have a stable release in place do we aim to start actually accepting enhancement proposals and getting them implemented/merged. Still, we encourage you to open those issues and discuss them!
- Issues and Pull Requests with enhancements or major changes will generally be frozen until we have the first stable release out. We will introduce a milestone to mark them as such more clearly.
Please let us know if you have any feedback on what we could improve, either with these updates or more generally! We're available on Slack, via GitHub issues, or even in the pull request creating this very file.
