As your membership doesn't expire this year, I can answer with a YES for sure.
Regarding exact date, it will be released when ready and stable. But I can only give you my current guess: RC got released 8 days ago. RC.2 (with all reported bugs fixed) should be released in the next days. Then we might have another very stable RC shortly before the (completely) stable release. So it is a question of weeks only. From there on we should have new releases quite often (very backwards compatible as usual).
