When is it schedualed to be released?
It's still far too early for a release date to be set. For comparison, going from 2.3.0 to 2.4.0 took eighteen months or so, and 2.5 has been going for about five months.

Are there certain new features that the end user will notice? If so what are they?
-- Better support for hot pluggable USB devices
-- a different configuration system (possibly including device autodection) -- the enhanced security work from the NSA
-- better power management (especialy ACPI)
-- better performance, hopefully.
plus any other interesting stuff which gets written in the meantime.
