This week, the engineering team completed their hybrid Zcon0 sprint. Zcon0 provided a ton of valuable input from the community, which we intend to integrate into upcoming sprints. You can view each team’s progress in [Github projects](https://github.com/zcash/zcash/projects). Other equally important items, Overwinter successfully activated on June 25th and v1.1.2 was released. [Overwinter](https://blog.z.cash/overwinter-activated-successfully/) If you run a Zcash node, make sure you’re on 1.1.0 or later. [Download](https://z.cash/download.html) the latest version of zcashd and check out the new [user guide](http://zcash.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rtd_pages/rtd_docs/user_guide.html) while your at it.
