The last two weeks have seen us steadily progress through the main issues in the current backlog, tackle bug fixes and test improvements and also hack away at bits of some bigger features like tag management and custom permalinks. There are still a few high priority bugs in the Current backlog that I'd really like to see go in before cutting a release, but otherwise I'm aiming to do a release in the next week or so.
