Andreas and Ian can answer here, but I'll mention that there are
some sound plugin changes in process, and possibly some updates
from John that should get attention, so after that round of changes
might be a good time to do a new build for the major platforms.
For planning purposes, I expect that the sound plugin updates
should be completed within the next couple of weeks.

There is not a formal release schedule, but periodic new builds
as worthwhile functionality becomes available. Building, testing,
and releasing VMs is time consuming work, so unless the platform
maintainers speak up to say otherwise I don't think that working
to a formal schedule is a realistic expectation.

None that I am aware of.
