I don't think it's likely. Otherwise why specify that the monk playtest will be included?

While houserule support would be nice, my current wish is for their to be a way for the DDI to keep track of ritual components. I currently do it manually and record it on the CB logs, but some new functionality would be much appreciated.

I would also like ritual cards (ie a power card but detailing what's involved in a particular ritual), because at this point, rituals are the main reason I need a PHB when playing.

What's sad is ritual cards ARE in the Char-Builder (create a character with rituals, then go to the sheet view and select "show normal item cards". The ritual will apear as an "item" but with no text beyond its name.

It seems it would be easy to enter the ritual text from the DDi on those "item" cards an viola! ritual cards!

I'm really happy to hear about Hybrid support in the CB. Since the release of CB, I've gotten extremely lazy in my character building and haven't really gotten around to doing much with hybrids manually. Awesome.

Delaying the update by a week isn't too bad, I suppose. Those that wanted same-day release of physical and digital versions aren't going to be happy.

Does this mean that you'll be adding the previous month's Dragon and Dungeon magazines in the next update, or are the magazine updates going to be nearly two months old by the time they get included?

Thanks for keeping us in the loop.

Wait I'm confused... It DOES keep track on this info. It appears in your inventory with an amount just like other items. Or do you mean something else I'm not understanding?

I want to be able to cast a ritual and when I do so, the component cost comes out of my inventory (as adjusted for feats and class features) without me having to do any additional math.

I went Manage -> Campaign Settings -> Custom Rules and made a Ritual Card. I typed in text Notes section, and sure enough, it prints it out on the cards. Not prettily, but it does print them.

I was about to make a joke about how this thing is making us lazy, then I realized it was a good idea!

...now I realise I just made that joke, if subtily...

Ahh I see what you mean.

I thought you just meant keeping track in how much you have ingeneral. I didn't know you wanted a way to automate it like when using the sheet in electronic form... If that makes sense.
