Agent @Mad_Relique in our discussion group reported Niantic testing out Battle Beacons! Here is what we can deduct from these screenshots:
Battles are divided in 5 3-minute intervals that will award respectively 1-2-2-3-4 points to the winning Faction. To win these points, one Faction needs to own the Portal at the end of the "checkpoint". The Faction with the most points, wins the battle.
After each checkpoint, the Portal is flipped to the opposite Faction and the battle starts over.
Each Battle is categorised from I to IV (as in first category to fourth category, first being the lowest) based on Total Agent Activity to determine the amount of the hacking boost at the end of the battle, valid for both Factions.
The winning Faction, is rewarded by their emblem being displayed on the portal for 4 hours.
Thanks @Mad_Relique for reporting!

During the European night, The Truthseeker posted both the Paragon Hall of Fame list and the Gold/Silver Knight Hall of Fame list. If you think you should appear in the first one, respond to the thread or contact a Faction Vanguard providing your supporting…
Niantic has updated the Paragon, Gold Knight and Silver Knight Hall of Fame Lists based on reviewing the Appeals sent by Agents in the previous days.
The list is final, meaning no more appeals will be considered but, if you think Niantic has missed your previous qualifying appeal, you will have until tomorrow, July 31st @ 0700 UTC, to let them know.
Once again, congratulations to the Agents who participated in the Tessellation and to the Resistance for their victory in the Event!

Niantic announced that Battle Beacons will be playtested, with the aid of Agents, in New Zealand and Taiwan!
The company says that the new feature will be playtested in waves and gradually activated in more regions.

P.S. Niantic reassured Agents specifying in the forum post that "[Battle Beacons are not] a replacement for Anomalies".

Agents are reporting that the rollout of the Gold Knight, Silver Knight and Paragon Medals to Players involved in Tessellation has completed!
If you were awarded one, you can check it out in your Scanner!

The Paragon Medal is staggering, isn't it? But did you notice anything particular about its design?
Agent @Tam555 found out that the Badge contains the outline of Portal Locations where Tesserae were obtained, such as CERN and the Sydney Opera House, and posted the list of those places on the Community Forum! We think it's a great design by Niantic and we're fascinated by the incredible amount of details in it!

Niantic stated on the Ingress Forum their intention to introduce the Niantic Profile feature in Ingress.
Players of that other game with Pocket Monsters may know that this feature lets everyone see your codename and level. At release, Niantic will add a control to hide them from your Niantic Profile, while leaving it hidden by default in the meantime.
When the feature will be initially introduced to the game, the Niantic Profile link will only be visible to the Agent owning it and not by other Agents as a privacy measure.
Is this the start of new social features in Ingress such as a friendship system? Stay tuned for more updates!

Niantic has granted all Agents a free Niantic Beacon to honour and remember Agent Totomad, from Japan, who suddenly passed away on July 22nd.
As there is no fixed time for a Beacon Lighting, we invite you to light yours and post a screenshot with the hashtag #BeaconforTotomad.
From our staff, the deepest condolences to their friends and family.

Niantic has re-enabled Location Edits on Portals, although limited to around 15 meters of movement.
This will hopefully reduce cases of Portals moved in totally different parts of the world.
Edit: Just like before deactivation, edits are limited to L12+ Agents only.
