Tools news

[nrc]

This is an issue to collect news about dev tools. If anything is happening, however minor, please leave a comment and let us know. Periodically (apx monthly, depending on how much news we get) I'll edit all the comments into a document, add it to the repo, and post to TWiR (and blog, tweet, etc.), then open a new issue.
