Segwit is ready, preparing for launch!
The below linked article talks about November 15, 2016 as a tentative release date.

0.13.1 will be release soon (1 to 2 weeks), that date is just one of the requirements that must be met before segwit activates.
RC1 will come out in a day or so oonce they go through the gitian process.
LN is coming around nicely where all the implementations have standardized Interoperability and Specifications for compatibility -

You know none of this is going to matter anytime soon with ViaBTC + Ver and friends blocking SegWit and potentially hard forking with BU...
If Antpool joins ViaBTC and starts mining BU then you can say goodbye to this potential rally
