It's going to be released very shortly, we are updating the web store right now, but the download is not ready yet, you'll see an obvious announcement on the front page of the site, the moment it becomes available. Probably before the end of the weekend.

Hope the new v2 version as high-res textures like LAX otherwise no upgrade purchase from me. All other developers like Fightbeam etc. are making high-res versions of their older airports.

KLAX doesn't have any high-res textures!

Yes, they are 4096x4096 in size, but they are not any higher res than JFK or other sceneries we made at 1024x1024 size. We use 4096x4096 for speed and efficiency, because a few 4096 textures are faster to draw than many 1024, even if the overall information is the same ( one 4096 = sixteen 1024s ).

So, JFK V2 will use 4096 textures for the ground, just like KLAX, for efficiency purposes. However, they WILL appear much sharper than previous JFK V1, because back then we used a native photoreal scenery as ground, and that method can suffer of blurriness depending how much power the PC used has and how the settings are, while the KDFW/KLAX/CYVR method we are also using for JFK V2, remains sharp regardless of the settings. Of course, it's controlled by the maximum textures size in FSX.CFG/Addon Manager, that has to stay at 4096, to see the textures at the resolution they were designed.

Only to represent changes to the terminals, such as the new Terminal 4.

Yes, but the installer will tell you to do so anyway.

Could someone explain a bit more the list of things that have been changed?  The ground textures look nicer in the screen shots and it looks like the highways are actually depressed in to the terrain under the taxiway bridges.  However, the terminals looks very similar (from above sounds like only T4 has changed).  Are any of these changes expected to impact performance for better (I hope) or worse?  The upgrade price is pretty reasonable, but I've also been perfectly happy with the currently JFK.

Thanks, I see that now.  I had been looking under preview/announcement forums and not in the older support forums.
