Not quite a new release as they've been out for quite awhile in Europe minus the shrouded QE barrel, but Hatsan USA finally brought some to the US and I bought one in .25.

The Turkish site is the best place to check out anything newly released and there's nothing there about one in a Turkish Walnut stock so not a clue if they'll come that way at some point, so the stock is synthetic. Doesn't feel one bit chintzy either and has a nice solid feel to it. Also has an adjustable buttpad. It only slides up or down, no side to side and and can be adjusted with a 7/16th's allen wrench but it is slightly adjustable.
Same 165cc air tube with a new twist. Instead of the plastic rod that gets pushed out when you slide the fill probe in, this one has an oringed cap on it with the other side now solid.
The side lever, at least to me is just easier to use although it is back under your chin. Still easier than trying to work the bolt on the original models and I know since I have the original wood version with the bolt. You also have to be careful as it doesn't have an anti-double feed mechanism in it like my Galatian sidelever does so it's very possible to double load if you screw up and forget whether you chambered a pellet or not.
Straight from the box, I got 17 shots before it dropped under 800fps with JSB 25.39gr so about 38 fpe. Got another 11 shots before it dropped to 100 on the gauge and shot 28 was still 743.
Still playing and trying to decide on a final scope but for now it's wearing a TruGlow 4-14x44 FFP scope I took a chance on from Midway for $100 and my first FFP scope. I did have a Discovery on it and while not one bit a bad scope, the crosshairs were a bit too fine, ymmv.
Here's a few pics of it to start:
