No, nothing new as far as when beta starts. The devs are doing weekly Q&A's now though... warcry hosts them. Deyth from Combine is also sending in a list of questions that people gave him on his forums that they're supposedly going to answer.

Yeah I know, Q&A's great. But at least they give info every now and then that actually helps prepare you for beta.
