I'm glad to see your interest for Chess Tiger, but I'm not sure I can answer all
the questions...
>> 1. When will the new RT be released? Aproximately...
I'm not in charge of deciding this. Ask Ed.
>> 2. Which new features will be implemented?
I can only speak for the engine, because I'm not in charge of the graphical
interface. For the engine:
* The search algorithms have been improved. Tiger now computes deeper
* Better king safety evaluation
* Generally speaking, the engine has been optimized and can compute faster. This
speed gain has been used to add more knowledge. The result is that the upcoming
engine will not be faster in NPS, but is guaranteed to understand chess better
* The program will be less likely to lose on time in won or drawish positions
* Several anticomputer strategies have been identified and Tiger will be able to
play against them
* Better hash table management. You'll be able to use more RAM on a given
computer, and Tiger will be able to use very big hash tables even at the fastest
time controls
* A number of other improvements I cannot list here but which represent months
of work
>> 3. Will it come with a new engine and opening book?
Yes to both questions.
>> 4. How much will the new RT gain on strenght compared to the
>>current version?
I'm sure the engine is significantly better. How much I cannot tell.

Maybe, if I have enough time before the release date.
> 6. Are book and position learning featutes integrated
Book learning yes. Position learning I'm not sure.
> 7. Is a book editor integrated
I don't know.
