David,

I think 1.8 should be out in a couple of weeks Adriá is the release manager
and will be working on it next week
the change log in the release-v1.8 will have what's in that

2.0 release date unknown but much of the stuff is in master branch (quite
alpha at the moment)

The main things I'm aware of

1) new templating based on jinja2 which is much easier to customise (genshi
'legacy' templates will remain supported for at least the initial release)
2) Fanstatic will be used to include .js .css to allow
minification/bundling of resources and hopefully simpler faster page loads
3) new .js application.js killed off and replaced by more modular approach
(new templates only) - better translation support for .js
4) data preview will be better integrated (in iframe) - this is not yet in
master but pending
5) finally depreciate some old helper functions etc - this has been ongoing
since 1.7

These are just the things I'm aware of but likely there are more.
There will very likely be some changes to groups/organisations
