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.)

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