Cisco have announced the 8.2 version ASA code. Plenty of new features in this one so Ill bullet point some of the key ones and leave the rest for you to dig out from Cisco.com.
* BotNET Traffic Filter
* Transparent Firewalling for IPV6
* Shared SSL VPN Licensing across multiple ASAs
* Per Group Certificate Authentication for remote access VPN.
* Cisco Secure Netflow across all ASA models, as opposed to just the 5580s.
* A wizard to set up public access to a server or host on your network. I imagine this will set up all the required translations and access for you. Could be quite cool if implemented well.
Official release is here

afaik the Botnet Filter is a Licenced Product, meaning more money for Cisco
