Points and lines can be regarded as the simplest geometrical objects. Incidence relations between them have been studied since ancient times. Strangely enough our knowledge of this area of mathematics is still far from being complete. In fact a number of interesting and apparently difficult conjectures has been raised just recently. Additionally a number of interesting connections to other branches of mathematics have been established. This is an attempt to record some of these recent developments. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 14C20 and MSC 14N20 and MSC 13A15.
