The Source engine has been updated quite a bit since HL2 first came out. Ep. 2 had some pretty major improvements (dynamic shadowing, better HDR, etc). I think Ep. 3 will bring engine improvements too. But yeah, I figure after Ep. 3, Valve will start working on "Half-Life 4" (since the three episodes are actually supposed to be HL3), and with HL4, I bet we'll see a *much* updated version of Source. Call it "Source 2.0" if you will. ^_^
I agree with the summer release period, though a release in the fall wouldn't surprise me either.
