+The previous month was so rich in news that this month basically had to pale when compared to it. But here we go!
+
+## Tree Merge 
+
+Tree merging is now finished and already used in production. This means TODO 
+
+*finished, along with `gix merge tree` and `gix merge commit`*
+
+### `gix merge commit`
+
+## Tree Merge with Index support (WIP)
+
+https://github.com/GitoxideLabs/gitoxide/pull/1661
+
+## `hasconfig`
+
+https://github.com/GitoxideLabs/gitoxide/pull/1656
+
+## merge-base: octopus
+
+## Community
+
+### Greatly improved 32bit support
+
+https://github.com/GitoxideLabs/gitoxide/pull/1687
+
+### Gix in Cargo
+
+Still, there is no news here, yet I am excited for the dam-break that is definitely going to happen. `gix status` just needs one component to be complete, and that can already be useful. Also, I will revisit it once `gix merge tree` is usable, maybe it can benefit already.
+
+#### Cargo-issue with non-ignored device-files in the package directory
+
+This issue along with its [related PR](https://github.com/GitoxideLabs/gitoxide/pull/1629) is still present and I merely mention this here to indicate it's not forgotten. I will definitely try to tackle it in this year still.
+
+Cheers
