Dont get your hopes up. I was told back in January that it would be supported in Q9 when it was released in march, only for it to be pushed back 7 months!

I think the biggest change will be the native fixed point support, but you can use this already. Other big changes will be "dont cares" in case statements and unconstrained array elements in type declarations (ie. unconstrained in 2 dimensions!).
