Nope, just barely came in in time.

Doing great. My lang, Utakassí, has just suffered thru some big
changes, orthographies been changed, <w> and <y> are out, phonology's
been changed a little, certain clusters are no longer legal, due to
assimilation (e.g., _asti_ -> _assi_), new undeniably phonemic
distinction between things like [t] and [tS] (formerly underlyingly
/tj/), now that [tj] and [tS] can now contrast (as well as /s/-/S/,
/z/-/Z/, /d/-/dZ/, /k/-/C/)! Also, there's been a lot of morphophonemic
alternations added.
