The new film has already been presented at the PMA fair in New Orleans.
It comes in June. (at least in America. About a month ago some sales 
representatives for Kodak Finland had never heard about this film when 
my dealer placed a preliminary order for me.)

To avoid confusion: 

the old E-4 Ektachrome Infrared Film is coded IE 135-36 
the new E-6 Ektachrome Professional Infrared film is EIR 135-36

This is also how to easily recognize them in a shop.
