When will Apple release an new firmware update (7.6.5 or higher) for the Airport Express/Extreme?

I am sure most of you know how terrible the 7.6.3 firmware for the airpot express/extreme is. I was on the phone with Apple technical support and they had admitted there are issues with this lastest firmware and confirmed they are working on it. I know how well Apple fixes their issues however it has been over 6 months and nothing. Because of all these issues, I have had to roll back all my airport equipment to 7.6.1 mainly to use the Airplay feature. Is there any projection for a new update or is Apple just ignoring this issue!?

AirPort Extreme 802.11n (5th Gen), iOS 6.1.4, Firmware 7.6.3

No one on a user-to-user support forum will have any knowlege about what a notoriously secretive company like Apple may or may not do.

When Apple makes an official announcement, we will all know.

What problem are you having exactly? I have updated to 7.6.3 and AirPlay works just fine in fact better especially with iTunes. All my wireless devices show up as soon as they are turned on or in range.

Not trying to predict anything here, but if the firmware update IS defective software, Apple probably would've fixed it by now.
