Ubisoft has just released patch 1.6 for Heroes of Might and Magic V. In addition to a series of fixes, the update includes interesting features, some of which I think already appear in the Tribes of the East expansion:
Kingdom Overview
Extended Number of Turns on Cursor
Wait Button
Sleep Mode for Heroes
Threat Indicator for Enemy Stacks
Autocombat Without Magic
You can download the file from the Ubisoft FTP, or look for a list of mirrors on the official site. According to Jolly Joker at the Round Table, patch 3.1 (for the Tribes expansion) will be released soon as well, but you will have to wait a little more for Hammers of Fate's patch 2.2: "[I] can't imagine 2.2 being released earlier than at least a month after 1.6 and 3.1."
