Edited the main post's announcements to give some of my thoughts on the work for upadting the pack. I've now got a good enough feel for the new content that I'm ready to start pumping out textures.
...Well, after I grab something for breakfast anyway. I'm in the Pacific Standard Timezone, so my post earlier was from like 15 minutes after having just woken up. My stomach is kicking my ass at this point.

I know how you feel, this update is huge! Something to keep us busy for a while... =D
Awesome to hear that you are updating your pack for this majorish update. I wasn't sure if you had quit on this texture pack or not. Must have been somebody else (ah yah) that quit on their texture pack.
Take the time you need, we all know what quality you are capable of. I've looked at a huge amount of other texture packs, but I never switch from yours. It's truly the best 64x texture pack available, truly.
I've been using your texture pack exclusively for the past few months, and think it's one of the best.
However, I feel this might be a good time to offer a suggestion/request (since you're doing work on it as it is), so I'm wondering if it would be possible to change the full grown wheat texture to make it a little more obvious that it's done. The difference between the way it looks right before it's done and when it's actually done is minimal, and can kind of blend in in a large amount of crop. Many a time I have harvested wheat only to find out that a few of them weren't done growing
Dropping a little preview here:
These aren't the only pieces I've done so far. I just thought I'd throw out a few bits here and there. If can't tell these are the new wood blocks (Love you, whoever at Mojang implemented this!) and the dispenser/trap (you know me and my Creeper faces!). All furnaces also use the blocky texture as opposed to the cobblestone, and I'm using the lighter/flatter cobblestone as default cobblestone now. I think the variation's pretty nice. Naturally people can still replace the cobblestone with the blocks. But personally, I think the new Sandstone might replace the need for block-looking stones.
@Malth. Regarding the wheat, I'll play with it a little, but as it is I think it's pretty fine. Yellow seed pods appear at the tip of the wheat only when it's fully grown already. I'll try to tweak the color a bit or something. Maybe add some weeds.
I love what you do and dedicate my first post to you. Keep kicking Ass, your map packs are the things dreams are made of. Dark, dimly lit, exploding peen filled dreams.
Whenever I attempt to use this mod, the textures seem off on the trees. I've followed the instructions identically seven times now to test it, and it still appears that the trees do not load correctly, or that the graphics are incorrect in general.
Any ideas?

I just can't wait for Misa to show us what the next texture pack will look like (well, the new stuff)!
Also, I really like that dispenser/trap box!! Back at ya Creepers!
Hey Misa I don't know if you already have something in mind or already did it but when it comes to sandstone you think you could make it more reddish than it is right now? Or maybe make an alternate texture for it?

Hopefully Xau will update his patcher soon
If you don't get to work it won't be the only one doing some ass kicking around here.
My legal team (the ghost of Wesley Willis) has instructed me to issue you this service of process.
Great work as always!

Thank you,

Back to work on the new foliage!

The texture pack is not updated yet i dont think.
If I find some I'll post it
EDIT:
Derp. It's in the Wiki already
Here you go Misa (read in the OP you couldn't go hunting for it)
http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/File:Lapis_lazuli.jpg (This shows what the mined version looks like)
Though couldn't you have seen this in the texture pack before editing it?
Also, I really like that dispenser/trap box!! Back at ya Creepers!
Never before has there been a more perfect block upon which to etch the face of every miner's nightmare.
Also that birch looks epic.
Red sandstone is so pretty. Like this:
