For those of us who use GPO4, or are looking for an orchestra module: While they are still in the process of updating the web site (I just talked to Nick @ Garritan), the Garritan Personal Orchestra has been updated to version 5.

It's available for $149.95, or you can upgrade from GPO4 for $49.95.

LOTS of new goodies:
Quote:
GPO 5 is five times larger than GPO 4 and offers more than 500 instruments. Some of the additions include:
  • New Orchestral Strings including 94 section string patches, 33 small sections, and 28 solo strings in a wide range of bow strokes and techniques.
  • Seven additional choir groups with 23 patches, including boys’ and children’s choirs as well as sopranos, altos, tenors and basses.
  • Updated brass instruments from the renowned ProjectSAM’s “Orchestral Brass Classic.”
  • Two new concert grand pianos: a legendary 9’ Model D and a 7’ Model B.
  • Completely new harp instruments with harp pedaling emulation, a custom organ console for expanded pipe organ control, more than 16 new impulse response presets, and much more.

New instruments are just part of the GPO 5 package, with many advances also made in new techniques, performance spaces and reverbs, and instrument body resonances. The result empowers musicians to produce truly inspiring symphonic sounds with a much higher level of realism.

The current info page is http://www.garritan.com/blog/garritan-personal-orchestra-5-coming-soon/ and their store page does have GPO5 for download. (For another twenty bucks you can get it on a USB stick, but those haven't come in yet, apparently.)
