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 H. 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,
