He has been busy. He's been working on support for the new ATmega128RFA1 
device, which has been added recently to the toolchain. Joerg will be including 
all of the WinAVR patches in his next update of the avr toolchain in FreeBSD 
Ports.

Joerg and I are working closely on the next release. There's been a lot of 
activity recently on avr-libc and avrdude, with releases of both coming up very 
soon.
