Another sprint, another sprint review! 
EDIT: We added additional information received from the Anytype team! 
Although this sprint was not as feature packed 
as the previous sprint, a lot of work has been done on putting the plans of previous sprints into practice 
. Let’s start with the (I think) most impactful change under “Process Improvements” and then dive into a great new feature to look forward to in the next release 
.
Note 
As @Jeroen pointed out to me (thank you! 
), people might take the information shared in the sprint review meeting notes as “promises” and could be disappointed if the release notes don’t include at least all the updates that were shared in the sprint review meeting notes. Hopefully, the following “disclaimer” clarifies the intent of sharing these meeting notes and makes the communication a bit better/clearer again 
: information shared in sprint review meeting notes communicates what was achieved in the past sprint and sometimes even provides an outlook to what to expect from coming sprints. Now that the release train has been put in motion, the bug fixes and new features that are showcased usually are planned for the first next release (sometimes even explicitly mentioned, like for simple tables, see below) but this could always change before the actual release date for several reasons. Please take these notes as an attempt to give you a picture of Anytype’s development state as up-to-date as possible .
Process Improvements 
In the previous sprint review meeting it was announced that big improvements were coming to the way new versions are released in the form of a “release train” 
. The upcoming release (planned for August 1st, 2022) is the first release where a new feature is released (almost*) simultaneosly on all platforms to move towards feature parity across all platforms step by step 
.

Community/Communication
@Angelo shared a lot of awesomeness 
about community and communication related topics.

- Integrations are set up and being tested between different platforms. This should further increase transparency (mainly with a public kanban) and knowledge sharing (better alignment between alpha users & mods & Anytype team/devs)
- Discourse (input of bug reports and feature requests) > Linear (internal tracker)
- Linear > GitHub (public Kanban board)
- Most Anytype team members are now on the Discourse forum to interact with the community (replying to posts, tagging topics). Feel free to wave and say if you come across a team member!
