What primes were "pending" at the time of Wiles's proof of FLT?

I would like to know what instances of Fermat's Last Theorem were pending at the time of Wiles's proof.

More specifically: what families of irregular primes had been discarded as possible counterexamples at the time of Wiles's proof? Was any parallel progress made between the announcement and the publication of the proof?
