GRUB release schedule?

Hi everyone, Is there a plan for when upcoming GNU GRUB releases will happen? As far as I can tell, the last official release on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grub/ was 2.00 on 28-Jun-2012, and the last beta on http://alpha.gnu.org/pub/gnu/grub/ for the next version was 2.02~beta2 on 24-Dec-2013 . There
