The currently shipping docs. contain all the updates we've
made available to developers. Unfortunately the DRI manuals are still
present, but ( There is always a but :) specific information about
TOS 1.2 and 1.4 has been merged with more to come.

Developer pricing for the TT has not been discussed ... yet, but
you can understand that limited quantities of custom parts will
be a factor ( I have nothing to do with setting prices, so these are
MY thoughts ).
