This is likely the last state of the preliminary CIAIAC report to be published any time now:
-The flaps probably weren't out.
-The investigation still hasn't been able to proof the position of the handles to activate flaps and slats.
-The R2-5 relay is still suspected of malfunction and the culprit that the TOWS didn't activate the alarm to signal that the flaps/slats weren't out. But its performance state still hasn't been established.
-From Sep 22nd til 26th the QAR (Quick Access Recorder) disc data was to be extracted at the manufacturer's facility in the UK.
-The manuals and procedures used to "repair" the RAT probe heater are being investigated.
You can see scans of the letter sent to the judge a couple of weeks ago about the advances in the investigation and main changes from the Sept 4th draft to the september 23rd revised draft:
