 We released [Vello 0.2.0][] at the start of the month, which included some key improvements discussed in previous months' updates.
-In June, we merged initial handling of Emoji ([vello#615][]), which supports glyphs which use the COLR specification (so this does not, for example, support Apple's system Emoji).
+In June, we merged initial handling of Emoji ([vello#615][]), which supports glyphs which use the COLR specification (Apple's system emoji font does not use this format and so currently will not render).
 In-flight work includes an enhanced testing setup ([vello#610][]), GPU memory allocation robustness ([vello#606][]), and improved correctness for some unusual strokes ([vello#607][]).

-[xilem#310][] brought in some new ideas about how Xilem Core can be structured, to move away from the macro heavy design used previously.
-I believe that this has additional advantages for specialised `View` types, such as OS windows, although this is yet to be integrated.
-Support for the `Adapt` views built on this has enabled an [Elm](https://elm-lang.org/)-inspired example for Xilem in [xilem#401][], showing the flexibility of the Xilem architecture.
-Our observability support has also been improved, with automatic tracing to a file in debug builds added in [xilem#384][]; [xilem#396][] will lay the foundation for more advanced debugging capabilities.
-My immediate focus will be on integration with async Rust, for features such as timers and network interaction.

 Philipp Mildenberger has been prolific in his work on Xilem, as a co-author of the new Xilem Core, and in adapting Xilem Web to use it.
 He also worked to bring support for `OneOf` views to Xilem Core in [xilem#394][] - these were previously only supported in Xilem Web.
 
+Masonry's observability support has also been improved, with automatic tracing to a temporary file in debug builds added in [xilem#384][].
+[xilem#396][] implements [rfcs#6][], changing the architecture of Masonry to make it easier to write new features and tests.

 There was also some excellent community engagement with Xilem in June.
 Veniamin Ilmer has created an open source [Minesweeper game](https://github.com/veniamin-ilmer/minesweeper_xilem/) using Xilem.
 The discussion on Zulip (in [#xilem > Minesweeper converted from Iced to Xilem](https://xi.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/354396-xilem/topic/Minesweeper.20converted.20from.20Iced.20to.20Xilem)) has been very useful in guiding areas for improvement.
