Phew, summer is coming, at least here in Switzerland, and to be honest, I'm already a bit afraid it's gonna get a tad too warm for my taste
What about you, do you prefer the cold or warm seasons, or does the summer still hide under a rock where you live?Anyway, dress up matching to your weather so that you can enjoy this week's Times without having to moan about it being too warm or too cold.
@q220 made a clear statement with his recent status update and also I saw that the Development Server has been updated and runs now on Spigot 1.9.2, in fact Eriol has already updated all of his plugins to 1.9. From what I have heard was the update from 1.7 to 1.8 a much more complicated task to achieve than the one from 1.8 to 1.9. Therefore we can look forward to this update to happen in the nearer future!

Eriol is currently working in Belfalas.
Misty Mountains (In Progress) - Lead: @Emilio_ (Eregion), @Finrod_Amandil (Misties), @Mandos (Gladden Fields)
No progress this week.
Tolfalas (In Progress) - Lead: @Tyranystrasz
The valley town of Tumladen is pretty much done at this point thanks to a lot of help from people like @samgamgee10 , @henryoly ,@Kjolsen , @Wroxxite , and of course @_Luk . There are still a few details that need finishing up as well as adding the SW corner once the respective terrain is completed (because we were lazy and wanted to build rather than voxel). As of this point, focus now shifts to voxeling in some pretty mountains as well as the valley surrounding the Celos river to the West.

[Public Project] Fennas Drúnin (In Progress) - Lead: @thomasd16
Plugin DevelopmentBeside some small refinements to the materials in the far south of Anfalas, a new giant chunk of terrain has been tackled in the north. Still it is very rough and sandy, but you can already guess how majestic the peaks will eventually look!

Belfalas (In Progress) - Lead: @Thijs1801
Even though one major patch of land already seemed to be done, it got reverted to sand once more. Meticulously the terrain there has been shaped into countless perfectly smooth curves, which, I can tell you, takes ages even with voxel!

Work has moved beyond the city walls this week and the construction of all kinds of farms are in full progress. The market square thomas mentioned last week has been built now and it looks amazing, just as all the detail between the houses that give this town an especially lovely atmosphere.
Animation Plugin (In Progress) - Dev: @Ivan1pl
No progress this week.
Plotbuild Plugin (Testing in progress) - Devs: @Eriol_Eandur & @Ivan1pl
Dang the testing session we scheduled I somehow missed, if you Ivan have remembered it, I'm really sorry!
New New Player World (Testing in progress) - Dev: @Eriol_Eandur, Assistance: @_Luk
No changes this week.
Minigames Plugin (Small fixes in progress) - Dev: @Eriol_Eandur
I'm almost done reading the Hobbit, I could gather quite a bunch new questions, and by the way added some interesting facts to my personal knowledge about the areas in Rhovanion that I did not have in mind yet, especially the fact that there's a marsh near where the Forest River flows into the Long Lake, and that theres some impressive waterfalls at the end of the Long Lake.
MCME-Architect (Ready for implementation) - Dev: @Eriol_Eandur
Eriol has managed to tame what seemed to be one of the most stubborn blocks in minecraft: The burning furnace! I hope we can also look into @BRASHEXODUS's concept of a steam/smoke texture, because these two would combine really well and make things look a good amount more lively!

Media of the week
In regards of the (so far yet a bit underwhelming!) hype for 1.9, here's a video showing the most important changes. Hopefully we can make also use of the changes to PvP at some point!

UpcomingIf it would not be for poor Frodo and Sam, we would have witnessed a Reunition of the entire Fellowship of the Ring this week at Isengard. But only of short lenght was this merry time with Merry, Pippin, Aragorn, Gandalf, Legolas and Gimli, already Pippin and Gandalf rode off to Minas Tirith, leaving the others behind.
