The next version will be 0.7.0. As to the release date, your guess is as good as mine. Others have said that they want it to be soon, but we'll have to see what really happens. It's going to be a pretty major release (new polys, new assumptions, (hopefully) new integrator). By the way, did you know that you replied to me personally, and not the mailing list at some point in the discussion? It's all reproduced below if anyone is interested in what they missed.
