I guess this might be one of the reasons why we have waited so long for the European 1.21f patch. It's possible that they have skipped it starting with the localizations of the next patch instead.

Sounds like it may be mostly MP tweaks and fixes. Considering the new XP will be out in the fall, I don't think they'll be too generous with any new features...
