We updated the situation report. It would be great if this update was reflected in the translations in a timely manner: @fzhang12 @alvinxhan @wdingx (Wei was a PhD student/post-doc with me and offered to help as well).
The list of changes seems long, but the biggest chunks of text are completely touched. many are mainly updated numbers.
Thank you very much for your work!
