Many thanks! It's nice when someone cares about the project.
1) Timing indicate? (I would like it to be in no hurry and release a confident working version)
2) Will there be a new plug? or just update the client without changing the protocol?
1) Should be within the next few days I think.
2) I don't know what you mean by "plug". There will be a new client update that will prevent further forking for now (and solve whatever the problem was, I'm not sure about that). It will not bring a further hardfork with it, but upgrading will still be necessary if you want to mine or forge.
