Any news about Monero XMR Mining after the upcoming fork!

Maybe monero should get a new algo for mining I've heard!
 
Anybody has heard that too ? Or know something about it?

From the Monero Team post :

Therefore, we will perform an emergency hard fork to curb any potential threat from ASICs if needed.
Furthermore, in order to maintain its goal of decentralization and to provide a deterrent for ASIC development
and to protect against unknown or undetectable ASIC development,
the Monero team proposes modifying the Cryptonight PoW hash every scheduled fork, twice a year.
The modifications will be light, and should not change performance profiles much.
The first change is now being tested, and will happen in the coming March fork.
Finally, we will continue to research alternative Proof of Work functions that may provide better ASIC resistance than Cryptonight.
