Re: Bytecoin website and roadmap release (including CryptoNote protocol updates)
Bytecoin Reference Client v.1.0.3 released.
Bytecoin GUI Wallet is coming out later this week.
Bytecoin Wiki has been largely updated.
In the meantime you may check out our Bytecoin: Under the Hood post where I explain our technology vision and give overview of what has been achieved so far.

More details on v.1.0.3 Reference Client release
In-process INode implementation for applications
INode is the high-level API interface that allows any application to utilize core features of Bytecoin p2p network. Its new implementation provides a full-fledged network node inside any C++ application. It also largely standardizes codebase and powers Bytecoin GUI Wallet, which is coming out later this week.
Low-level ITransaction API interface for ordinary and multisig transactions
Bytecoin low-level API interface provides 3rd party developers with a flexible access to CryptoNote transactions engine. It gives access to core functions that allow to create, validate, sign, and broadcast a transaction. It also provides multisig access.
This update is aimed for wallet and multisig applications developers. Bytecoin low-level API provides full control of CryptoNote transactions technology allowing you to select specific inputs of a transaction. It also gives tools to utilize multi-signature protocol and create such products as native escrow and M-of-N board wallets.
Instant transactions notification
With this feature Bytecoin transactions become real-time. When Alice broadcasts her newly created Bytecoin transaction to Bob, his wallet will immediately recognize it and update Bob's balance before the transaction is included in the blockchain. This is achieved through IWallet API interface that subscribes to all the transactions of the node it is connected to and instantly recognizes the transactions sent to you.
Simplewallet migration to high-level API
Legacy simplewallet code has been migrated to the new high-level API libraries. Even though simplewallet remains the same from the user perspective, everything under its hood is completely redesigned. This update is the showcase and reference implementation of Bytecoin high-level IWallet interface. Simplewallet operates through proxying INode interface only, so it still requires a running daemon.
