A couple of weeks ago, the FrameMaker product manager at Adobe posted a 
new thread asking for desired features for future FM versions: 
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4327964#4327964. So FrameMaker 11 is 
definitely in development. In fact, it's possible that his request was 
related to work on FrameMaker 12. Based on the typical 18-month release 
cycle of the program, FrameMaker 11 is probably due out around July-- 
FM10 came out in January of 2010-- and FM11 development is probably past 
the phase of adding new features now.

Note: Much of this message is just me guessing. Adobe has confirmed only 
that there will be a new version of FM, not when, and not whether it 
will be a full version upgrade or a point version.
