This is very interesting technology and will fundamentally change LiveCode
as a development environment. I don't know what the release schedule is,
and releases schedules always change, but you can watch development of it
on github. There is a widgets branch on the Runrev/LiveCode github
repository that Mark Waddingham has committed some code to. Previously he
was doing some work on it under a "feature-widget" branch on his own github
account. Here is the link to the widget branch:

https://github.com/runrev/livecode/commits/widgets

You can check in periodically and see how it progresses.

If you want to monitor all of the progress on the engine then you can
follow these instructions for installing SourceTree and setting it up with
the livecode github repository.

The engineers at RunRev are doing a lot of fine work, as you will see by
watching the repository. Some of it has led to things like Cocoa, improved
Linux support, improved proxy support, the new browser, the QuickTime
replacement on OS X, hi-dpi support, etc. A lot of their work has been less
visible but has provided a foundation for some awesome technology we will
be seeing in the not-to-distant future.
