    Hi Ali,

    sure.. I can give you a preliminary overview, we plan to make an official announcement sometime next week when we have finalized the feature-list. The version will be called 1.7.5 thanks to the many improvements;

    In soapUI Pro only:
    - Extensive Drag-and-Drop support for moving/copying objects within and between projects
    - Support for a central groovy-script library for creating globally available scripts
    - The possibility to generate JUnit-Like reports for Testcase/TestSuite runs from within the TestCase/TestSuite windows
    - Improved XPath Contains assertion dialog with wizard to select expected content from property
    - Improved outline/form editor UIs
    - AutoSave functionality
    - etc..

    In both soapUI and soapUI Pro:
    - Extensive possibilities to clone/move testcases/testsuites/teststeps/interfaces between projects.
    - Workspace-management; the possibility to easily switch between and create new workspaces
    - Nested Property-Expansion
    - A new Response Time Assertion
    - The possibility to Enable/Disable TestSteps
    - The possibility to reorder TestCases within a TestSuite
    - Improved UpdateDefinition
    -> optionally recreate requests and create backup copies of existing ones
    - Improved Generate TestSuite
    - Improved Generate MockService
    - etc..

    On top of the above a refactored action-system for improved memory management, a large number of bug-fixes and memory/performance improvements, and a large number of small improvements to functionality and the UI..

    We are now testing and working on the initial documentation and hope to release a beta 1 within 1-2 weeks, our ambition is to have a new final release every 6-8 weeks (soapUI 1.7.1 was released 5 weeks ago).

    Hope this is in alignment with some of your requirements!

    regards,
