I think we get this asked daily. Not to be rude or anything, but you know as much as we do. There are no inside informants.
What I do is I refresh Puretime's home page every few days to see the latest releases, I use that as my news feed.
If you do not want to do that, you can buy a V7 No Date, or buy a V9 or ARF Sub and buy a separate ND Dial and crystal without cyclops and install those.
