I'm not going to lie. This is the most exciting up-date for me so far.
All of the Death Note manga have been officially digitalized and free previews placed online. We get to see the Jump Comic volumes in a choice of two formats: as published, or in full colour.
FULL COLOUR! That doesn't mean a few pages at the beginning and the end. That means every single solitary panel of each and every page. Colourings just got canon.
Which further means that after nearly a decade of the entire Death Note fandom depicting Matt with red hair and green eyes, he's just officially become a brunette. With a red and black striped shirt.

As yet, the digital editions of the Death Note manga are only in Japanese. But that's never taken very long to sort out. Plus, let's face it, we've all got enough copies by now in our own languages, that the teams of scanlation angels hardly need to rush themselves on our account.
Anyone going to rush to get their cyber paws on these versions? I'm counting myself as a yes there.
What scenes and/or characters are you most looking forward to seeing in colour? And Matt fans (of which we are legion, expect us), will you be altering ten years of mental images to match his now canon black hair?
For the record, no, I am not going through ten fan-fiction novels to change his tresses. Feel free to copy them onto your own computers and run through with an editing program, if you really wish that to conform to canon. (We all ignored the anime sludge-green-brown hair colouring anyway.)
