Launch last December.

SpaceX’s live video webcast begins around 15 minutes prior to launch, 7:06 p.m. PDT for 7:21 launch, and will be available on this page:

The goal is/was to do their first landing on land (they’ve done F9 landings on the Pacific drone ship in the past), and also going to try another net catch of one of the fairing pieces. If the latter works, they’ll build a second ship and catch both of them next time.

I watched this “three way” of enthusiast YouTubers earlier today, has the details.

I didn’t hear a sonic boom, but I saw it flying through the sky over the ocean with a trail of light. It was beautiful. I wouldn’t have even known about it if not for this post.
