Spark: When is the next version due for release?

Yesterday, I was about to purchase Laravel Spark when I saw this message:

Licenses are valid for an entire major release "series". In other words, a license entitles you to all updates until the next series release. That current series is Spark Aurelius (initially released February 2018) and includes Spark 6.0+. New series are released roughly once every two years.

I did a Twitter-search for Laravel Spark but couldn't find much useful about a release schedule for a new version, other than Taylor once replying "This fall" to a comment.

Is there any way to find an official statement on when the next version of Spark is due for release, other than reading through random Twitter threads? I'd hate to purchase a licence now, only to have a new series released in two weeks.

I don't know when it will be released, but Taylor talked about it at the last Laracon online conference and it sounds like a major rewrite. So I'd not be surprised if the "series" is incremented to the next major release.

@gcwilliams since one just came out Sept 11, 2020, it will probably be several months again.
