Well I don't know if you would call it a new release, but Motorola Computer
Systems, which was the old Four-Phase company, has just released a new 
VME based 68020 machine called the System 8000 which does run V/68, which
is the Motorola Microsytems port of UNIX.  This port has been worked on
by both Microsystems and Computer systems and, as far as I know have done
some major work in the C compiler area.  You may want to check with Brad
Holtzinger of Microsystems(..!hplabs!motsj1!bjh) for more specific 
information.
