Yes, some specifics would be helpful. JustG has a sort of "State of the Game" letter for the future of SWG over the next few publishes here. Don't let the picture fool you, he's 37.

There aren't any specific release dates for anything. Try not to get too discouraged reading the letter. The developers want to sprinkle combat bug fixes here and there, they just aren't giving any specifics yet (nor any promises). To quote the article in regards to the much talked-about Combat Balance, he says:

"We have made a decision to address major combat issues only and not do the full combat balance at this time. After the Crafting Experimentation experience, we realized that we need to spend more time than a single publish to truly accomplish our goal, which is to make combat fun and engaging. To have the depth to combat that I think everyone wants in the system we want get much more player feedback and balance on these types of things. We will be developing the Combat Balance separately in a Sandbox over a long period of time, with plenty of Test Center and correspondent participation. We will release this one when it is ready... and not before."
