Here is the draft. It is super late (apologies!), and I don't have much content for it. Can you all help out with this?


* [**go-ipfs**](//github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs)
- [@noffle](//github.com/noffle) made [a fix](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2296) for when your FUSE connection is terminated
- [@lgierth](//github.com/lgierth) automated the [docker image](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2308) for go-ipfs

@lgierth improved the automated docker image for go-ipfs, which is now named ipfs/go-ipfs. Give it a try: docker run -i --net=host ipfs/go-ipfs.

The new image is built automatically for every commit, and has automatic tags for the coming releases. It's also a few MB smaller, and doesn't require mounting a volume for the IPFS repository anymore. Instead, if there's no volume mounted, it'll generate an ephemeral identity and configuration which will be lost when the container exits. This is ideal for testing or just trying something out real quick. Images for go-ipfs 0.3.x are not provided, because the Dockerfile shipped with these version isn't suitable for Docker Hub automatic builds.

- [@chriscool](//github.com/chriscool) rewrote [the build documentation for Windows](//github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/blob/master/docs/windows.md), which enabled [@slothbag](//github.com/slothbag) to get Windows builds working again with minimal fuss.
* [**distributions**](//github.com/ipfs/distributions)
- [dist.ipfs.io](http://dist.ipfs.io/) _almost_ has [signed releases](https://github.com/ipfs/distributions/pull/51) thanks to [@dignifiedquire](//github.com/dignifiedquire). THis will be coming soon.

- [@noffle](//github.com/noffle) made [a fix](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2296) for when your FUSE connection is terminated.

sounds pretty odd. maybe "@noffle improved FUSE connection termination."

Replaced.

- [@whyrusleeping](//github.com/whyrusleeping) shipped the GX PR, which pulls relevant code out of go-ipfs and into the new GX package manager. He also wrote a tool to publish IPNS records without the IPFS daemon.
- [@RichardLitt](//github.com/RichardLitt) spruced up the [gx README](https://github.com/whyrusleeping/gx) - it is almost ready to ship.
* [**js-ipfs**](//github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs)
- Thanks to @diasdavid, `object features` now works, with tests and all.

let's make sure in CR/discussion here in this repo to escape text changes that include names of people not in our team, that way we don't tag them + subscribe them to listen in to a bunch of annoying CR on this :)


* [**Marmot Image Checker**](https://github.com/eris-ltd/marmot): This takes an image, asks the Google Cloud Vision API for three descriptions of the image, and compares those descriptions to a chosen list of words. If there is match, the image is added to the [toadserver](https://github.com/eris-ltd/toadserver), a smart contract and IPFS-Backed download server. [From Twitter](https://twitter.com/asciinema/status/701730719589126146)
* [**asciienema**](https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema/releases/tag/v1.2.0) now allows playback on IPFS. [From Twitter](https://twitter.com/asciinema/status/701730719589126146)
* [Introduction to IPFS](https://medium.com/@ConsenSys/an-introduction-to-ipfs-9bba4860abd0#.48ki3fymw): [@ChrisLundkvist](https://twitter.com/ChrisLundkvist) and [@ConsenSysAndrew](https://twitter.com/ConsenSysAndrew) wrote a fantastic write up about IPFS, from a less technical perspective.

the write up is very technical, it's only the beginning that isn't. also, let's write a bit more about this, this was a big deal post that our friends wrote on our behalf. something like:

- Our friends and users at ConsenSys wrote an excellent "Introduction to IPFS", which starts with a less-technical preface, and then dives deep into a full explanation of how the IPFS object model works. It walks through multiple examples, including directory structures, version control systems, and blockchains. This is a great post to familiarize yourself with how the low level IPFS objects work, with graph visualizations and in-depth explanations. It also features a fantastic cover image! Thanks @ChrisLundkvist and @ConsenSysAndrew!

This image is so good - I think we should move this paragraph to the top, above Updates, just to highlight it. What do you think?
