When will technic launcher update to 1.8?

I play minecraft on a school laptop which means it is vary controlled, I play minecraft on it but i have to have "Technic Launcher" (www.technicpack.net) to play it, and there are some things that i want to do but it requires the 1.8 update and the platform that i play on doesn't have the update and i was wondering when it was coming out or if it has for this platform tell me how to get it because i play on 1.7.10
Please help and also keep it as simple as possible because I'm not much of a person that knows about computers.
