I'd also point out that while the question has been asked many times, searching for an answer has been fruitless so far. You can't search for "4.1", it just won't let you. I went through the results for "New Version" for 10 pages before I realized that was going no where. So on the topic of telling people to look elsewhere for the answer, try again.
Piece of advice... you're never going to get a good answer to this question. The devs rarely weigh in on threads like these, and they are the only ones who are going to be able to answer this question with any shred of believability. The rest of us (even us beta testers, moderators, etc.) are in the same boat as you more or less. Hopefully you (and others in this thread) realize that the beta testing process is public and anyone can access the beta-testing forum. I would suggest, even if you don't want to do any testing, go into that section of the forum and do a little reading. In the test build thread you can see exactly what stage of development we're currently in. In case you didn't know, the process goes:
Developer build -> Alpha -> Beta -> Release candidate -> Official release
As of today we're at the "release candidate" phase, so that can at least give you an idea of how far in development we are.

1. Just create a thread and ask if your particular issues have been addressed. Or report the issue any way and be told that it's already fixed in 4.1. That's going to be a lot more constructive than complaining that you don't know when the new version will be released (and not even knowing if your particular problems are resolved in it or not)
2. You can install the beta version in portable mode to a different folder and it will not affect your current installation at all.
