I can't really say. It seems update won't be too fast officially if ever. As i said i did my part and sent it to Gunny and Ahiga (i missed Dresden as he even didn't answer my latest PMs and since Gunny offered assistance to upload updated file).
There is also my mod ready and updated Europa Perdita (both not officialy released). It is - like FotE - pretty outdated so EP is not working properly for long time since outdated files are ignored or read from vanilla archive (this is currently corrected in my mod only).
