German has a new letter
Today, a new letter was officially introduced to the German orthography: ẞ, the capital counterpart of ß. So it is no longer GROSSSCHREIBUNG but GROẞSCHREIBUNG. (It has been part of Unicode, code point U+1E9E, since 2008, but unofficial in German orthography until today.)

Perhaps a lingonews thread in the ephemera?

Ok, that's it. I'm officially a cranky old curmudgeon now.
