 WordPress doesn't seem to have updated the feed URL / source used for the
 ‘WordPress Events and News’ box on the Dashboard (currently on WP6.0.1
 here). I think this feed may vary depending on what language you’ve
 selected (I’m English (UK), rather than English (USA)), which might
 explain it.

 Essentially, that box on our site seems to pull the news from this URL or
 the related feed, which hasn’t been updated since March 2022:

 en-gb.wordpress.org/news/

 But if you go directly to the non-language specific wordpress site, then
 the latest news is correctly shown here:

 wordpress.org/news/

 I can’t find an easy way to update the URL/Feed for this without directly
 editing the database, which is something I’d rather not do, as the
 relevant field (I think) under the ‘options’ table
 (_transient_feed_XXXXXXXXXXX) is very dense with other settings = too much
 scope for damaging mistakes to fix a minor annoyance.
