Rhino 1.7R3/1.8

After trying to find out when will be the next Rhino release I have no
other option but to ask directly.
Actually I am pretty interested in the new AST api which I see is
already in the cvs (head). For now I have a quite dirty piece of code
to more or less extract the AST from the existing Node class (in
<=1.7R2) and it's getting pretty troublesome with destructuring
assignments and a few other constructions.
I just use that to shrink/obfuscate chunks of javascript (reducing
code size) and it works well up to js 1.6 syntax but I am pretty
interested to find a better way to do it (especially a more
maintainable way which I could also share with the community; I am not
really proud of what I have now ^^).
Is there a release due to be soon (ie. in Q4 this year) which will
include the AST api? Or should I just checkout the cvs head? (note: I
am using this in a "live" environment so it has to be quite stable
already).
I visited the bugzilla and it seems not too many issues are left
there. What do you suggest?
Cheers,
Nitro

My plan has been to wait for a new release until EcmaScript edition 5
support was complete before releasing, so likely not until Q1 next
year. Using a version built from CVS head is probably okay.
