thnx rhn
Edit: Poked through the Thread, and i think that Jaded gave a very excellent answer as to progress and where they stand to move forward.

twitlonger is just a twitter thing which lets you post longer tweets, that was on Jadedcat's twitter and slowpoke's twitter
Possibly because it's not an actual update? It's just reiterating what's been said before, and just a "don't worry guys, we're still here, and know you are too".
I'm talking about this: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1rsbiqp
It sure qualifies as an update in my book.
Well, not really, the key points are:
- Progress is happening. Just doing some bug squashing.
- There'll be new Magic World, Tech World and Unleashed/Ultimate packs.
- There'll be a lite pack.
- The configs will work across packs.
- 1.5 worlds won't be supported.
None of that seems like news to me, and it's not really definite "look at this" stuff. For an announcement, it'd be better to wait until there is actually something to show.
Given that it was posted by Jadedcat on 26 Nov and started with "Update about FTB packs." , I think it's more than worthy of appearing on the news page (which has been void of mod pack news for months).
The news page has been quiet for a while, mainly because the packs have been on hold while waiting for the launcher and updates. This hasn't actually changed. They're still waiting for a release-ready launcher, and still configuring the updates. From what I've seen of the news page, the team prefer to post "look, this thing is released", and leave the "this thing is going to be released, here's some progress" for the social media/forum side of things, leaving the teasing of progress left to people who want to see it, and actual progress as a full announcement.
If you look back through the news page, it is all either requests for help, notifications that stuff is available, or news that an event has happened/is happening. If you keep an eye on the team, the other info is available, but only "publicly" announcing things that are actually available keeps the pestering down.
I honestly think its better to hear that we are getting somewhere than as silent as its been on the forums... And the news released has not necessarily been advertised.
Either way, this is going to make a few people on my server a bit calmer about the situation, and we knew from the beginning that the Unleashed/Unhinged worlds wouldn't be compatible with the 1.6 packs. (At least most of us, i guess)
Edit: Thanks, VikeStep, for the link, by the way

Updated the Thread Title to draw attention to get the word out for people blundering around as i did... I'd Like to make this thread to consolidate information for people. Hopefully the more threads that point people where they need to go will cut down on unnecessary threads and questions.
As Jaded stated in previous threads, there are several twitter accounts that release updates on everything.
the best one to check out is here: https://twitter.com/FTBSupportTeam
they try to give daily updates, and should help at least quell a few anxious crafters.
From this point, I will be updating the original post so that people can go and see the news for themselves. Any more information is welcome

I think you mean this twitter page: https://twitter.com/FTB_Team that page is only for tech support questions
