Actually everybody knows about release dates. Just monitor the appropriate "roadmap" topics into
News and Announcements forums.
Yes I know you always announce expected releases but this is not a fixed date, it´s usuallay a estimated release date. I´m not thinking of me here because I visit nopcommerce.com every day, but for new vendors and shop owners it could be a help if you planned the future releases and put them on the site maybe on the roadmap page, easy to find for all new users too.

Only you know... the final code changes...
You can monitor how the upcoming version is being developed. All source code (the latest one) is available on codeplex. So you know absolutely the same information as I do. Furthermore, for example, I know that nop-templates updates their themes quite fast because they monitor the latest source code available on codeplex. You can do it the same way.
I certainly do look through or install the code from codeplex every week, trying to be ahead with changes. But anyway you are in charge of the modifications so off course you are one step ahead of others how the final code will be.

Furthermore you can make it a lot easier for customers buying official releases to update more or less automatically by integrating a update feature into nopCommerce this will not be possible for products from 3rd part vendors.
That's just assumption. Why do you think that I'm going to do so?
I´m just pointing out the concerns that this could have for 3rd part vendors, I don´t know your plan, But I recall I have seen some plans for easy updates of official plugins and I think it´s only natural and in highly need of a better way of updating nopCommerce. I know you will think of 3rd part vendors as much as possible before you implement any updates this is not an attack of you Andrei not at all. I don´t get why you have waited this long for releasing themes as it have been a weak spot for nopCommerce, now it will be lifted up where it belongs, the sale and support hopefully will grow for all of us.

Do you concider to give discount to Solution partners for official releases?
If I got you right, see my first reply. Information about the release dates is always available on the forums
No I ment if you would concider to give x% discount on official theme/plugin releases to Solution partners :-)
