### How to keep on top of events

- opt in to the `@notify-events` Discord role
- Discord Events sidebar - click "interested" to be notified on a per-event basis!


## Core Update - Ben

Astro 4.6 was released! Let's recap the big highlights

- [i18n manual mode](https://github.com/withastro/astro/pull/10193)
- [CSRF protection](https://github.com/withastro/astro/pull/10678)
- [Dev toolbar placement](https://github.com/withastro/astro/pull/10591)

[Stage 3 RFC landed: Astro Env](https://github.com/withastro/roadmap/pull/894)

### RFC proposal Form Actions

_Hosted by Ben_

[Stage 1 proposal](https://github.com/withastro/roadmap/discussions/871#top)

### New Discord recurring Event: Techchat

The platform team will start a new initiative very similar to talk and doc'ing. In this event some members of the platform team will do live coding of new Astro features, talk about Astro internals, answer questions and talk about tech in general. 

The format isn't set on stone (even the name of the event!), and it will be a very informal. A casual hang out 🙂 

As for now, the event will run twice a month for only one hour. Things might change based on the reception of the initiative.

Find this and all events on the Astro Community Calendar and Discord Events, and click "interested" on [Friday's upcoming event](https://discord.gg/astrodotbuild?event=1227574832066068561) to be a part of the very first one!
