## [Website Redesign 🎨](https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/pull/425)
The official Ember website is due for a new look and feel. That is why a [new RFC](https://github.com/wifelette/rfcs/blob/master/text/0425-website-redesign.md) proposes a **completely new look** 💅 for emberjs.com. A side effect of not having updated the look and feel of the website for some years is that for people who aren’t involved in the day-to-day of Ember development, it’s **easy to miss just how well the framework has kept up over the years**.

The redesign aims to **modernize, update and improve all the things on the website** so that the impression given to the general public matches reality.

There’s already a good discussion going on in the [RFC comment section](https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/pull/425), and we would love to hear your thoughts as well.

## [Ember Inspector (Extended)](https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/pull/417)

The [**Ember Inspector**](https://guides.emberjs.com/release/ember-inspector/) is _the_ dev tool for Ember developers debugging their apps. But how much cooler would it be, if Ember addons would have a way to extend the Inspector's feature set with their own tooling?
A new [RFC (Request for Comments) suggests to make the Ember Inspector extensible](https://github.com/thorsteinsson/rfcs/blob/extensible-inspector/text/0000-extensible-inspector.md) in such a way and could use community feedback!

Leave your thoughts and suggestions about an extensible Ember Inspector [below the original proposal](https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/pull/417)!

The integration with our search provider, [Algolia](https://www.algolia.com/) that powers both [Ember Guides](https://github.com/ember-learn/guides-app) and [Ember API Docs](https://github.com/ember-learn/ember-api-docs) has now become even more performant!

Our friends are Algolia have enabled us to improve API docs search performance by as high as 285% for some countries in Europe! The map shows data centers where the API docs are currently stored and (on the right) the performance improvement for the top searching countries.

## [Improving Testing One Partition at a Time 🍰](https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/pull/426)

**Ember's testing story** already makes testing incredibly approachable to developers, but what if it could bring even more to the table right from the start? Imagine being able to speed up your test suite with **parallel testing** or running tests in **randomized order** with a simple `ember test` command in your app.

A new [RFC proposes an update to the testing default in Ember apps and addons](https://github.com/emberjs/rfcs/pull/426) by providing [ember-exam](https://github.com/ember-cli/ember-exam) - an Ember addon developers can already use for advanced testing strategies - built into Ember's testing setup.
