I don't know if Hondo stated his latest comment on Slack here at bitcointalk.org but i figured out you should all know.

As you know StealthSend found its self on the side of the roadmap the last couple of months due to the latest updates that occurred in the community such as the webclient, webwallet and stealthtext update. For that reasons he extended the dev team so they can work on the projects mentioned before. As for him, he reported at slack that he wants to turn 110% of his focus to StealthSend and he will not be happy until he innovates.

I don't know if he will announce something here on BCT but you better check Slack more often because he is very active there and he will be making periodic updates about StealthSend's progress.
