Dota 6.68 news!
Dota 6.68 will be a map that usually contains heroes and items balance after the huge changes on Dota 6.67. Do you feel an item or hero skill is imbalance? Post your hope here and maybe it will implemented on Dota 6.68.
Update 1 from IceFrog (25 April 2010):
IceFrog has just confirmed that there will be new heroes on Dota 6.68!
"I am still working hard on 6.68. We plan to release a preview video in the near future to showcase some of the new content. There are quite a few new heroes in development so we are taking extra time to make sure they are high quality. There will also be balance work done for the current content as well various other improvements and features.
If there is anything you'd like to see in the next patch, please let me know."
Update 2 from IceFrog (1 May 2010):
Woot! On the Q&A session, IceFrog reveal that one of the new heroes on Dota 6.68 is Icarus the Phoenix! Check the details in IceFrog Q&A #4.
Update 3 from IceFrog (23 May 2010):

Is the above image from the Dota 6.68 beta? I just found out that image from the Dota forums.
Currently, there's still no confirmation about this, but the image seems real. We can see Icarus the Phoenix there along with the new face, a hero called Ragnar the Kodo Rider.
The question is, is this image real? I leave the answer to you.. What do you think?
Update: Ok, its not. Playdota forum staff (beta testers) confirmed it is not beta screenshot.
p.s. Seems like a real one to me!
Update 4 from IceFrog (14th July 2010):
I've confirmed that there were new heroes coming in 6.68, but there are also some new features coming. Here is a preview of a new gold mechanic that introduces the concept of Reliable vs Unreliable Gold.
"Reliable Gold" - Any bounty you get from hero kills or from the extra "aoe kill gold" bonus (feature from few patches ago) is added to your Reliable Gold pool.
"Unreliable Gold" - It is everything else (creep kills, neutrals, etc).
Dying can only take away gold from your Unreliable Gold pool and not from your Reliable Gold. Buying items uses up your Unreliable Gold first before using your Reliable Gold.
An example: You have 910 total gold (500 Unreliable, 410 Reliable). If you buy Boots of Speed, you'll have 410 total gold left (0 Unreliable, 410 Reliable). However, if you bought Chainmail, you would have 360 Reliable Gold left.
The process is seamless to the user, you won't have to do anything extra to make it work. Your total gold is still displayed in the same place. Your Reliable Gold is displayed in your scoreboard title.

This is a new experimental idea that may be adjusted and tweaked over time depending on feedback and results after it is released. As always, let me know anything you want to see in future versions.
Update 5 from IceFrog (23rd July 2010):
The new update is very close to being ready. There will be new heroes, items and lots of balance improvements. Here is the second preview:
1- Captains Mode: There is a new ban and pick system for CM in 6.68. Instead of 4 bans and then 5 picks, now it is 3 bans and then 3 picks followed by 2 bans and 2 picks. Information about the exact drafting order will be detailed in the changelog.
2- A new basic item, Orb of Venom:( Click to show/hide )
3- Tiny with a new ability he gains from Aghanim's Scepter:( Click to show/hide )
4- Kinetic Field, an ability on one of the new heroes:( Click to show/hide )
