Very recently, Andrew Suk made a major breakthrough on the Erdos-Szekeres convex polygon problem, in which he solves asymptotically this 80 year old problem of determining the minimum number of points in the plane in general position that always guarantees n points in convex position. I will review his proof in full detail.
