UPDATE HIGHLIGHTS:
This is a feature and bugfix/compatibility update. There is at least one report of a new issue with this release.
If you have critical reliance on your device you may want to wait a week or two until more user reports are in before updating to this. (UNLESS you are still on 0.2.27 for UNLP reasons. Scroll to the bottom of this doc for more info before installing.)
New Features Overview
Initial Support for Play Integrity
If you need this, you probably already know what it is. We doubt this is going to be some magic solution as Google is always targeting to block custom ROM users with this tool, but it may improve compatibility for some users. Let us know how it works for you.
Add support in the Self-Check Page to show compatibility with Google’s new app signing regime
Google recently broke compatibility with Google Apps and future apps downloaded from Google Play by changing their app signing scheme.
This requires a change in your app signature spoofing solution, either inside your ROM or in an external add-on. This change will show you if your ROM or signature spoofing solution has updated to support this Google change.
Other improvements
Improve Google Play Games compatibility, general compatibility improvements, various bugfixes, language translation updates.

UPDATING:
* This has been flagged as a PREVIEW release on the microG website and F-droid repo.
Since this is a “Preview” release, it will NOT be suggested to you as a new update unless you have your client configured to offer "unstable” software versions, or select the new version manually in the “Versions” dropdown at the bottom of the app page on F-droid.
The most straightforward way to update the microG core module for most people is by using the F-droid client, with the special microG F-droid repo added. (See our “f-droid-repo” group note here)
You can also update microG on an existing installation by downloading the new APK from the official microG Github download page or website, and install it like any other standalone APK.
REMEMBER THAT THERE ARE TWO MAIN MICROG COMPONENTS: GmsCore and microG Companion. Always update both together, and ensure the version numbers match.
If you use a ROM which bundles microG and the above update methods do not work, you may have to wait for your ROM to update to the new microG version. Ask your ROM developer.
For new installs, the 3rd-party installer bundles will be updated as per each developer's workflow.
