Lots of things are going on around here, and we have a few mutually 
interdependent changes that are causing a delay in getting a new update 
to SVN.

We have a nasty blocking bug, #19971, that keeps us from running real 
programs (like the latest rubinius specs). It showed up on Monday as a 
result of a change to the DLR. The fix is on the way. Once it is checked 
in, we should be able to check in the latest rubinius specs that Jim has 
been working on, and show the results of running against them.

Tomas has a new MutableString implementation that is being reviewed this 
morning. Once that is done and through SNAP, we'll be able to apply my 
bugfixes shelveset that fixes a number of issues that are preventing 
various apps from running.

Curt Hagenlocher has recently joined our team and is on loan to IronRuby 
for a few weeks. He is working on getting Dir#glob and File#fnmatch up 
and running. He's also looking at getting Ruby marshaling up and running 
as well.

Thanks,
