As to where the new firmware is, all I can say is that it is coming. I do know that Kobo are working on it to make sure that we don't have the problems of the last two official releases. And to make sure that some of the useability problems are dealt with.
When the touch came out the wifi was apparently going to get another firmware update (it didn't) and was shown on the Kobo website along with the Touch and Vox right up until the announcement of the Mini and Glo. I strongly suspect that there will be one more firmware update and that is it - unless of course Kobo have come to their senses are realised they can write one firmware to run effectively on all three devices and keep the touch as a viable product.
