New image releases when?

Do we have a target date for a more current release of the Hivetool image?
I would love to try Ryan's Highcharts JS dashboard, trends and configurator perhaps in an alternate release assuming it's compatible with the Hivetool data repository and supports standalone operation?
Inclusion of a list of version features and fixes would also be great.
Would it be feasible / desirable to make distributions available via apt-get install from the Pi OS?
