Whilst hardly a Lightroom announcement, the following reply to a post I made on the Lr u-to-u forum, inquiring about current beta thinking, elicited the following response from Eric Chan, the man on the Adobe Raw Converter team behind the development of the Camera Profiles.
Hi everyone,
Our basic plan at this time is to release a "beta 2" set of profiles which will include support for new cameras well as fix some known issues with the existing ones. There will also be a "beta 2" of the DNG Profile Editor, which is essentially a bug fix update.
As with the beta 1 profiles, there will be an installer so you don't have to worry about where to stick the new profiles. The installer won't delete or replace the existing beta 1 profiles, nor will it overwrite any custom profiles you may have built using DNG Profile Editor. So you don't have to worry about the color rendering for existing images (which use the 'beta 1' profiles) changing their appearance behind your back.
Both are free and will be released to the public very soon. See Thomas's notes in his description of Camera Raw updates in a recent thread in the Camera Raw forum if you want a closer guess on what "soon" means.
There are more details, but I think this is enough for now. Ultimately I will attempt to update the DNG Profiles FAQ with more info, but I haven't yet figured out how to squeeze 25 hours into a day!

Following the above suggestion to see Thomas (Hogarty) comments provides a distinct clue that Lr2.1 (proper) could be released next week.
