Here's the patch-notes for the update scheduled to be released on the 2nd. (my money's on the 3rd, since SV follows in the grand tradition of MMO devs in that regard)

Version 1.20.36.50 – Release
2010-08-02
Notice: We can't stress this enough. When the launcher is running the patch installer, let it run its course. It will take some time to apply the patch and it might seem like the installer is doing nothing, but it is working. If you reboot or kill the patcher process you run the risk of corrupting you installation, forcing you to do a full reinstall.

Comments
Good info here.
Looks like some good tweaks to thievery in there, though they've probably got more work to do on it. I think that's one of those playstyles that is always going to be hard to satisfy everyone with - thief and victim alike. From what I've seen recently, a lot of the guys that were just curious about thieving have pulled back, while the guys that really wanted to be thieves are still at it.
Also some interesting guild warfare tweaks. I'm not a big fan of the 5 war limitation, but it's one of those things that sounds temporary.
As silly as it sounds, a lot of people are pretty excited about the emotes, especially "sit".
Hopefully it'll be another good patch when it hits.

If this patch goes through without any major hitches I will resub for sure. Great stuff. Especailly pushing thieves to reveal them.
Wa min God! Se æx on min heafod is!
The problem I see with the Pushing to reveal thieves is jerks running around pushing everyone trying to reveal Hidden Thieves.
Im more lookiing forward to the Aug 9th Patch

ITS TOO HARD! - Matt Firor (ZeniMax)
Yeah they need to limit it somehow. . pushing is already annoying. Good point. Although it is not as annoying as getting robbed. Recent changes have helped that as well though.

They seem to be making decent headway on this game. I've had my eye on it for awhile. I'm just waiting until there's more toys in the sandbox to come play. What else are they working on?
I've seen suggestions for flagging people after they've pushed a certain number of times, which I think would be a good idea if done correctly.
While I'm not a thief player, so far I like the rules they've implemented. I'm sure there's more in store for thieving overall, and more balancing to do, but it's not the free money grab that it was in beta. These rules seem to be separating the good thieves from the bad ones. From beta, I believe a lot of people thought the life of a thief was going to be lucrative and easy, as they just wait for their "mobs" to come to them, bearing fat loot to be easily lifted. Not so with the current rules, but a clever thief appears to be able to do pretty well.
I saw a player following a thief around in Fabernum two days ago, calling him a "noob". To which the thief simply responded,"Yeah, well, I've still got YOUR gold".
Before they put thievery back in the game, I'll admit I didn't miss it. But now, I do think it adds a nice additional element of danger to the game that was missing, especially in town. It's not hard to keep yourself thief-proof if you take precautions, but the threat means you do have to stay on your toes. And, it does add another viable style of play to the game, which is a good thing.

From a recent update, these are the things they're working on for the near term (though they are also probably working on other things concurrently):
