Short answer: there was no new, named Penguin release in 2015. Google later changed how Penguin works — on September 23, 2016 Google announced Penguin was integrated into the core search algorithm, running in real time and behaving more granularly (page- or URL-level instead of always site-wide). That change is the important follow-up to the 2014 refreshs people mentioned in this thread. (Penguin is now part of our core algorithm). (developers.google.com)

Practical checklist (what to do if you think Penguin/link signals hit a site):

  • Check Google Search Console for Manual Actions and the Links reports (export top linking sites/pages). The Manual Actions and Links reports are the place to start. (Search Console docs). (developers.google.com)
  • Audit backlinks (use the Links export, a spreadsheet and a quality filter). Contact webmasters to remove low-quality links; keep records of removal attempts. If you cannot get removals, use the Disavow tool carefully and only after cleanup attempts. (A new tool to disavow links). (developers.google.com)
  • Fix anchor-text over-optimization and focus on earning natural, contextual links; follow Google link best-practices so future recrawls show recovery faster. (developers.google.com)

A few clarifications for earlier replies: , Pigeon is a separate local-search update (2014) and not a rename of Penguin; and others were right that Penguin 3.x activity happened in 2014, but the structural, game-changing shift was the 2016 integration into core. If dealing with historic drops, line up dates from your analytics with Search Console messages and backlinks clean-up timelines — with Penguin as part of core, fixes generally show up after Google re-crawls and reindexes the cleaned pages.

Well, I would say Google Pengium update has already been updated to Pengiun 3.0 last year i.e at around october. So, I don't think that there's much to wonder about you can check the post over the SearchEngineLand located over here

Also I guess not google has been gearing for some other updates maybe next generation of panda and all ! Also I would suggest you to subscribe yourself over to the searchengineland post to make sure that you are updated with the change in trends and all !

@photography nope they aren't going to do that in the upcoming month rather than next version will hit around by the end of this year I guess anyway I don't think that there's any reason to think much about it .... as long as you are doing good things !
