A few days after IceFrog released DotA v6.55b there is already the new v6.56 released fixing some bugs and balance issues that occurred in the new versions.

IceFrog seems to be very interested to find a new stable map for the competitive play as fast as possible, therefore he worked hard in the last days on the different maps. The latest produced piece of art is now available, DotA v6.56. If this will be the new stable map remains to be seen but certainly it's a step closer.
