ArmA Support And Patching Plans - Part III on the Bohemia Interactive Forums is an extensive post outlining the few issues still to be addressed in a future patch for ArmA, even as their attention turns to development of ArmA 2, as well as an outlook of support beyond that time (thanks Gamer's Hell). Here's what they say about a release schedule for the patch: "Most likely there will be a beta stage again, followed by a stable release. All the three "major" fixes are already implemented, we would like to test them internally first, so that we can be reasonably confident we do not re-release the patch quickly. Once this is done, we need to first prepare a public beta patch to ensure new bug fixes really fixed all issues and didn't introduce some unwanted side effects. It is probably safe to assume the new final, stable release is only a few months away. "
