Welcome to the new Yasm blog!
Welcome! I've recently upgraded trac to 0.10, and this allowed me to install some plugins, the Blog plugin being a major one. I'm going to focus on what I'm currently working on in Yasm development; ideas, code, etc. It feels more friendly (and/or easier) to do it in a blog rather than in email posts to a (otherwise very quiet) mailing list.
The main thing I'm working on at the moment is the new optimizer. You'll be hearing much more about it in the near future!
