Eh, there was incremental progress throughout the first six flights, but switching to Ship version 2 has been a definite (though hopefully temporary?) setback.

Flight 1: Made it off the pad.
Flight 2: Made it to staging.
Flight 3: Made it to reentry.
Flight 4: Made it to splashdown.
Flight 5: First booster catch.
Flight 6: First zero-g raptor relight.
Flight 7 and 8: Successful booster catches, ship RUD on ascent.
