25S will be released on June 23rd, and we're now in a feature-freeze.

New features include:

* New package manager written in Gren, enabling a Yarn-like zero-install functionality.
* `gren run` lets you run applications defined in packages, making it possible to deliver helper scripts/programs through the package manager.
* Task ports makes it easier to perform certain kinds of JS inteorp.
* Concurrent tasks

There will be a live stream on the 21st to demo new features.
