This week we did get a rollout to the main channel. The code running on Blue Steal and Le Tigre was promoted Tuesday morning.  This is a package that has a bug fix or two and a crash mode fix, which I think is mostly a security fix.

Professionals could program for SL without learning a new language.

The Lab has been considering and planning to add additional languages for some time.
