As I've announced on the mod profile (which I'm constantly updating), the next version will be released when the secondary class (Omega) is finished. And right now, only one weapon lacks completion: the Junk ammunition.
Which, depending on my spare-time and mainly depending on the projectiles' complexity, may be released by Sunday... or Monday, at most.
This time, you can expect a MUCH more polished version, specially in terms of eye-candy, with two fully-working classes, chosen using the mod menu.
There may be minor bugs, since I haven't got much time to test it (and haven't got enough interested people to help me test it...), but if any of those are reported I'll release minor patched versions until next big release (with another class, which I've already got planned).
I'll still skip an UMOD version, at least for a few days after the release, and the read me will be WAY too simple, since I plan to change the mod profile to gather all information regarding the mod (including Omega weapons), so it'll probably just have installation instructions and the mod profile's address.
