Description
I shall review the major developments that have taken place in small-x physics in the past couple of years: the completion of the epic (10-year long!) calculation of the NLO corrections; the discovery that their inclusion leads to negative cross sections; the solution to the problem, by inclusion of collinearly-enhanced higher order contributions; and the understanding at all orders of how the running of the coupling affects the evolution and anomalous dimensions.
