I believe that there will never be an official 1.5.2 version. Don't quote me on that. Most authors are jumping to 1.6.x and thats when the next official release will be.

And boy does it keep doing this. (recent attempt to update downloaded a fresh copy of MC, overwriting the updated Java library again)
I'm glad I keep a copy of the lightweight Java Game library in a safe place.. on external, disconnected storage..
where can i find the spreadsheets/comparison for direwolf20 1.6 pack and others?
I mean google docs links thread on this forum, not just direct links.
i think they should add those spreadsheet links to the main site http://feed-the-beast.com/mod-packs

There have been several spreadsheets tracking the development progress of mods for 1.6. None official, though.
That is not the case at all. None of the current builds for the 1.6.x packs are official.
If you read Eyamaz's tweets, he's said he's waiting for permissions.
My pack (which may or may not be an official pack) is pending TE.
I'm not sure who's in charge of the DW20 pack.
There is no use in putting out an official modlist or spreadsheet if that will change, considering we (those building packs) already know that the list is going to change before final release.
Presently, our time is better spent getting the packs ready than providing tentative/incomplete lists.
I don't know if it is worth going for 1.6 because I have been playing Minecraft 1.7.2 and in it they really fixed lava, it turns off rather rapidly now if you block it off or remove the source block. Plus all of the world-changing stuff they have in there is awesomeness. I'm just going to sit back and wait until the mod authors finally get caught up with the Minecraft 1.7.2 code. It's going to take a while, sure, but there's lots of features in that version that are worth it to me, and that's what I care about.
FYI, if the modpack authors can make a stable 1.6.x release version I might consider playing modpacks with that version, however, in the long term it would still only be temporary.

Considering how long it's expected to take MCP, then Forge, then the mods to update, I wouldn't hold your breath for 1.7 modpacks any time soon.
According to Direwolf's News ep. 8 yesterday apparently they announced at Minecon that one of the authors of MCP, Sarge was just hired by Mojang. Can anyone out there verify this is the case? If so, I can't help but hope this will speed up MCP updates. Also, since I have no further details I can only hope this will accelerate the API development.
About Serge and MCP need just read news page at (surprise!) MCP site: http://mcp.ocean-labs.de/news.php
Now that they've hired one of the MCP authors, Serge, this will be a big step in the direction towards making the API work, and hopefully making modpacks and mods a lot easier to process updates for.
What people aren't mentioning here is that the MCP staff will be one down for a bit, they'll have to work extra hard to make that workload lighter! I wish them all the support and help they can get!
Cheers ...

Searge said his new job won't make any difference to MCP - they already had all the help they needed from Mojang, and his new job won't slow down his MCP work.
I might update it at some point, although I feel that https://feedthebeast.atlassian.net/wiki/display/PML/Public+Modpack+Listings has made this spreadsheet somewhat useless, unless it being in a table is really importantHey, could you update this to include Unleashed, Unhinged and Monster so we can compare those?
Actually your comparison is far from useless. I am trying to decide on a pack to start on and find myself alt-tabbing between 3 browser windows trying to compare what is/isn't in a pack. When I thought "Sod it I'm opening excel" I remembered your excellent work with the previous packs.
On a side note I find that Monster does not live up to it's name. I am considering downloading the universal config and adding _Everything_
I made one in a table for you guys https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...SWJEeTZoMEh6eHMtYmswSXJfX2c&usp=sharing#gid=5
Currently it only has the modpack comparison, but as you can see if you see the other sheets there is other things planned like Mod Information, Spotlights, Tutorials, Twitter Accounts. Hopefully it will replace the outdated guides page by ICountFrom0

I disagree. That, while useful, is just lists of the mods. It doesnt give you a good visual comparison like yours, Vikesteps, or mine do. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgnSLIUjIjLcdGtTcWRUWUxEODVBY0Q4N1FSV3dlRUE#gid=0

Another one, but with version numbers for the various mods.
