zwiftblog doesn't seem to be updating regularly. But I did find a youtube video which had an interview with someone from Zwift which announced those things.

Spotted a new one if someone gets a PB for a sprint or they finish a custom work out you can send them a Ride on

LATEST PATCH
Hi all, the lastest patch has been released, which includes the new map overlay and sweeper beacon.
First and foremost, the Minimap is here! With this small scale map in the top right corner of your screen you should be able to more easily determine where people are at any given moment. You can even click it to toggle between 3 different views.
Icons shown on the Minimap include:
Other Zwifters (dimmed out if they are in a different sport than you)
Friends
Favorites
A/B/C/D/E group riders (in events)
Event Leaders (in events)
Event Sweepers
Timing arches
Workout portals
A second change you may notice is we've added an action bar to the Windows and Mac version of Zwift. This has been a long time feature on our iOS version and now it's found it's way to all the platforms.
To use it, simply press the UP arrow key while riding. LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys will allow you to select items, and ENTER will trigger the action. DOWN will hide the bar again, or it will auto-hide after a short time.
Other notable enhancements and fixes include:
'Riders Nearby' list will now show mini celebrations when a fellow Zwifter does something notable. A little Ride On button will also appear next to their name to make it easy to congratulate them.
Race results will now let you show combined results across all sub-groups of an event, as well as view results per-subgroup.
Race results now will let you follow or favorite riders directly, as well as give a Ride On if you thought somebody deserved it.
Ride Sweeper is now an option that can be added to group rides. Just like the Ride Leader, an event organizer can designate somebody as the sweeper to help those at the back of the group. A red icon and beacon is used to designate this person if there is one.
The main screen before you ride will now show what sport a Zwifter is currently participating in. People in the sport of your choosing will be sorted to the top of the list.
When choosing to 'Ride With' or 'Run With' somebody, your route will be set to be the same as the person you chose to join. This way you continue together at intersections without having to manually choose a direction.
A few new hairstyles added, and more feminine hairstyles sort towards the front of the list in the customization screen if you are female.
If you have a workout that was created with the TrainingPeaks workout builder and have it scheduled on the calendar, Zwift will download it and show it in the workout selection screen automatically on the correct day. NOTE: you will need to disconnect and re-authorize your TrainingPeaks connection here to grant Zwift access to see your workouts.
Fixed crash that would sometimes happen for users in an event with a ride leader.
Running time splits view added.
Running achievements added.
Several running workouts added.
Korean language translations added.
Arrow keys now allow you to navigate through the customization screen. UP/DOWN select category, LEFT/RIGHT choose item.
B'Twin 100 and 500 classic trainer profiles added.
Fix for occasional issue where Mac users would have to double-click on everything to get the click to register.
Fixed issue where doing a spindown calibration on a smart trainer could disable sim-mode for a ride.
Simpler shadows used for bikes and riders on lower-end 3d hardware to make group rides more fluid and enjoyable.
Crowd volumes and cobbled road volumes reduced.
Fixed issue where spindown button could erroneously appear on a power meter in the pairing screen.
For those looking for more roads, don't worry - we are getting close with our next course expansion and we think you'll love it.

Well, if you have got one the I have to have one!
Nice. Very nice.
I have come home early to fit a ride in and was eyeing up my loft entrance trying to work out if the Atom would fit through or whether I need to get my builders in. AND you know what? the old loft ladder is a bit loose and surely needs replacing. Health and safety 'innit
Was there an old one ?

It means I can hopefully create the space I've always wanted without worrying about disturbing the rest of the family.
Bkool don't have the capability to do a diagnostic review with Apple Mac's so I had to cancel my appointment. I'm still going to try and get it repaired / replaced but I'm pretty much done with them really. I don't know if you guys have been following the summer cup shenanigans but it's a little embarrassing... And I'm at a point where I want more focused training as my times quite limited.
I'm not sure we'll ever replicate the fun we had in the handicap races but life moves on
Bob there's an unboxing video on YouTube if you want an idea of wether you can get it through your loft hatch.

Sorry to hear about bkool Tom but if it's any consolation I've decided not to renew my sub in February and to be honest i haven't missed bkool they can't even remove obviously wrong times from the SC so it's not for me now, there's bigringvr so i can still get my fix for the hills.

Ideally bkool make their system more compatible with 3rd party trainers so I can join the races from time to time. From what I can tell you guys don't races against each other too much on zwift and I enjoy racing and the banter on here afterwards.
