+[ronin-support][ronin-support] [1.0.7][ronin-support-1.0.7] and
+[1.1.0.rc2][ronin-support-1.1.0.rc2] have been released. The [ronin-support]
+releases fixed parsing of Unicode surrogate character pairs in JavaScript
+strings (ex: `"\uD83D\uDE80"`) in [Ronin::Support::Encoding::JS.unescape] and
+[String#js_unescape]. This bug was discovered while beta testing [ronin-recon],
+Ronin's new recon engine. [ronin-support 1.0.7][ronin-support-1.0.7] also
+improves the performance of [Ronin::Support::Encoding::JS.unescape] and
+[String#js_unescape] by 2x!
+
+[ronin-web-spider][ronin-web-spider] [0.2.0.rc3][ronin-web-spider-0.2.0.rc3] was
+also released fixing issues with the new `each_javascript_string` method which
+extracts JavaScript string literals while spidering a website.
+
+[ronin-recon][ronin-recon] [0.1.0.rc2][ronin-recon-0.1.0.rc2] was also released
+with numerous bug fixes that were discovered during testing.
+
+**Reminder:** there are only **four days** remaining in the
+[Ronin 2.1.0 Open Beta] testing period. Keep testing!
