I was in contact with Nate a few times last week. Getting over some jetlag and stuff. He's working on it though and he did say it's almost done, but he also had to fix some long-standing bugs in some of the runtimes.
Writing official updates is hard too. We'll have to forgive him for not posting anything in the blog.
He has been talking about it in the forums though, just a few weeks ago.
Remember: Are you death?
