You wrote "November" here, but in the TAB report, I'm seeing a Dec 1 event in the "Timeline of events".

| 2020 Dec 1:

What looks like an email published at that url seems to be undated.

Metadata in the source of that webpage seems to support a December 1, 2020 publication date. Or, simply hovering over /changed 5 months ago/ results in a tooltip.

Anyhow, this event in the TAB report's timeline is what you're referring to?

[Yesterday, I sent you an email asking about this.]

As it turns out, I received an email from Rene this morning (7 May 2021 08:25:25 +0000), but entirely due to my own fault, I hadn't yet seen that reply when I posted my comment about 8 hours later.

Nevertheless, I do hope Rene takes the opportunity to discuss these late November thru first of December events here.

The email referenced in the TAB report itself contains a link to an archived Twitter exchange from 21 - 22 November 2020.

Please do scroll up to see the beginning of that Twitter exchange -- although I'm interested in discussing Kangjie Lu's tweet at the bottom, where he says, among other things:

> The paper will be available soon. [...] I can share a copy with you in email.
