SkyOS has received a few updates. First, the new theme engine makes it possible to completely theme SkyOS, without having to write even a single line of code. Furthermore, with only minor changes, WindowBlinds and MS Visual Style (WindowsXP or Vista) themes can be converted to the SkyOS theme format. Additionally, the Viewer (file browsing application) has a new feature called 'NavigationView', which makes it possible to possible to navigate to your devices and manage files easier and faster.

RE[3]: Will it ever be released?

Well, this depends how you define a release. SkyOS Builds are released every few months and development (alpha) builds are released every few weeks. There will be nothing like a SkyOS v1.0, just a steady flow of builds, with roadmaps defining the coverage of each build.
This being the case, can we stop calling it "news" every time SkyOS releases another monthly?

There will also be a change in the release naming scheme and roadmap definition, which will be announced soon.

Well, an OS will definitely never be finished. If it is finished, this just can mean that development has stalled and the project is dead.
