Bhargava's asymptotic conjecture for degree-dd number fields with Galois group SdS_d

Let Nd(X)N_d(X) denote the number of number fields of degree dd having discriminant with absolute value at most XX. Let q(n,k)q(n,k) denote the number of partitions of nn into at most kk parts, and let r2(Sd)r_2(S_d) denote the number of elements of order either 11 or 22 in SdS_d. Bhargava's conjecture. The asymptotic density satisfies

limXNd(X)X=r2(Sd)2d!p prime(k=0nq(k,nk)q(k1,nk+1)pk).\lim_{X \to \infty} \frac{N_d(X)}{X} = \frac{r_2(S_d)}{2d!} \prod_{p \text{ prime}} \left( \frac{\sum_{k=0}^n q(k,n-k)-q(k-1,n-k+1)}{p^k} \right).

This conjecture predicts the asymptotic growth of degree-dd number fields with Galois group SdS_d as a function of the discriminant. The supplied passage does not state whether it has been resolved.
