Novell and now SUSE have traditionally not announced release dates for  
products until they’re ready.

You may find the slides for session SUS105 “SUSE Linux Enterprise:  
Technology Roadmap” that was presented at last year’s BrainShare of  
interest - slide 7 has SLE11 SP2 straddling Q4 of 2011 and Q1 of 2012.  
Note that Q4 doesn’t necessarily mean Oct-Dec and Q1 Jan-Mar as it has  
previously been Nov-Jan and Feb-Apr.

Of course things may have changed since October when that session was  
presented but that’s all the public information you’ll currently find.

HTH.

Don’t have any dates but I did find release notes — Version 11.2.0.21  
(2012-01-20)

‘Release Notes for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 Service Pack 2’  
([http://www.novell.com/linux/releasenotes/x86\_64/SUSE-SLES/11-SP2/](http://www.novell.com/linux/releasenotes/x86_64/SUSE-SLES/11-SP2/))

It’s out now, I installed it last week with SLES 11 SP2 for VMware and also SLES 11 SP2 for physical servers. Pay attention if you change php5 to php53. You need to deinstall and reinstall and doing this will cause the apache config to lose both the ssl- and the php modules. When you activate them through yast in the network service http, you might lose your virtual servers, so be sure to make backup-copies before you start changing/upgrading php5
