Not as yet.  We've been talking about moving to a "send out what we've
got every six months" model to somewhat mirror the GNOME schedule, but
at the moment we just do a new release when we think there's enough new
stuff to warrant it.

Not until we do a release.  But the draft version is always available on
the website too, and reflects CVS changes immediately.

Yes, the default theme/fonts are supposed to be used for all screenshots
(which IIRC currently means Simple theme, Bitstream Vera Sans 12 font). 
Unfortunately that means we still have a whole lot of images that use
Crux, because we haven't updated them yet :/

Any notable changes/additions should also be noted in the draft HIG's
"What's New" chapter (hig-ch-whatsnew.xml); it sounds like this would
qualify.

Cheeri,
