Not really much except new miners. Bitcoin price has dropped slightly , on the expected trend. Nothing new, keep monitoring bitcoin. Ofc altcoins have big news but since this is a bitcoin forum i'm assuming you only care about bitcoin.
Bitfury made a new 16nm miner that has absolutely no documentation and could be fake, though the latter is probably false.
The antminer s7 has been released, on its 15th and probably (probably) last batch.
Sidehack's new Gekkoscience USB Miner came out, although it's too late and the only ones you'll get are from resellers trying to rake a profit. They've been selling for 75$ each on ebay, originally here for 25$. Understandable since they have the 2nd lowest efficiency of any miner except for the S7, at 0.35W/GH for the most part. Not even including underclock, but the overclock potential is enormous and it's been overclocked up to 25 gh/s off its base of 8 gh/s.
I'm lazy so I won't link anything, but feel free to search in the lookup bar and find your information.
