What Happened

The OpenRCT2 team has recommended that users upgrade for security reasons.
In other news, public records have revealed that the University of California (UC) system has shared data collected by automated license plate readers with US Customs and Border Protection and other federal agencies, potentially violating state law.

Space and Science
As of May 30, the Moon is in its Waxing Gibbous phase, with 99% of its surface illuminated. Tonight, observers can spot various features on the Moon's surface, including the Mare Vaporum, Aristarchus Plateau, and the Mare Fecunditatis, using just their naked eye or binoculars.
What Experts Say
"We would like to thank everyone who contributed with code, testing, translations, bug reports and everything else," said the OpenRCT2 team in their release announcement.
"We're concerned about the possibility that UC Berkeley, which maintains data-sharing agreements for its system of six ALPR cameras, may have shared data that could have potentially wound up in federal hands." — The Ellis Collective
