New versions of HotA traditionally come out around New Year's, so they will continue to coincide with the AllStars series tournaments, and this should be accepted as inevitable.
Waiting half a year is not a good idea. I can only wait for feedback on critical bugs and then make a decision - to start immediately on version 1.5 or, for example, have the first round on version 1.4.2 and then switch to 1.5 (most bugs will probably be fixed within a month or two).
